Properties of Matter                                                                                                                                                            Section 2

Learning Targets I will be able to describe matter using its physical and chemical properties. I will be able to calculate density.

Physical Properties Characteristics that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance

Physical Properties Name some physical properties State Color Mass Volume Texture Shape Odor Melting point Boiling point State Solid Liquid Gas Strength Hardness Magnetism Can it conduct electricity Can it conduct heat Density

Physical Properties Help to determine the uses of a substance Help in the selection of materials to create things Why do they make car frames out of steel? Why do they use Styrofoam to make coffee cups instead of aluminum?

Chemical Properties

Learning Target I can determine the chemical properties of a substance.

Chemical Properties Describes how a substance changes into a new substance, either by combining with other elements or by breaking apart into new substances

Chemical Properties Name two chemical properties: Flammability The ability to burn Reactivity The capacity of a substance to combine with other substances Acrylic pic: scienceimage.csiro.au Reactivity pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dube_rohit/5396784761/ Chrome pic:
