Properties of Matter Every pure substance (element or compound) has a specific set of properties. Properties of matter can be either physical or chemical.
Physical Properties Can be observed without changing the substance into another substance Examples: color state of matter density (mass per volume) freezing point (temperature at which a substance freezes) solubility (ability to dissolve) malleability (how easily a metal can be manipulated)
Chemical Properties Describes a substances ability to change into a different substance In other words, the ability or inability of a substance to react with another substance These properties can only be observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change Ex/ sodium has the ability to react with water, gold does not react with water
