PHYSICAL PROPERTIESCHEMICAL PROPERTIES  Characteristics observed that don’t change the substance  Ability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more other substances

EXAMPLES OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES EXAMPLES CHEMICAL PROPERTIES  Color  Freezing point  Melting point  Malleability  Tensile strength  Solubility  Texture  Taste  Sound  Magnetic  Hardness  Conductivity  Height  Density  Mass  Shape  Volume  Smell  Ductile  Luster  Rust  Burns  Corrodes  Reacts  Deteriorates  Oxidizes  Reacts with water

INTENSIVEEXTENSIVE  Independent of the amount of matter EX: density, color  Dependent on the amount of matter  EX: mass, volume, height
