Learning Target 5a
(LT5a): Describe the physical and chemical properties of a substance. Classify changes a substance undergoes as physical or chemical changes. ◦ Meets: Identify examples of physical properties Identify examples of chemical properties Differentiate a physical reaction from a chemical reaction ◦ Exceeds: Given a reaction, I can explain and defend whether or not it is a physical or a chemical reaction
Physical Properties: are able to observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Examples: ◦ Color ◦ Odor (smell) ◦ Density (mass/volume) ◦ Malleability (ability to bend) ◦ Elasticity (ability to return to its original shape) ◦ Conductivity (ability to flow energy, heat, or electricity) ◦ Insulator (resisting flow of energy, heat, or electricity)
Only are able to be observed when the identity of the substance is changed Examples: ◦ Flammability ◦ Reactivity
Any change which does NOT change the identity of the substance ◦ The same chemicals are still present Examples: ◦ Mixing ◦ Dissolving ◦ Melting ◦ Heating/cooling
Any change which results in a NEW substance ◦ New chemicals are created Evidence of a chemical change: ◦ Color change ◦ Gas production ◦ Temperature change
