PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
2
Can be observed without the substance changing its composition
Without altering the composition of a substance
3
Example of Physical Properties
Physical state Color Density Crystalline form Melting point Boiling point Electrical conductivity
4
PHYSICAL STATE There are different “states” of matter. States of matter are also known as phases (a physical state of matter). Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another phase when special physical forces are present. Solid Liquid Gas
5
Density The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume. Mass/Volume
6
Density is an important property of matter which can be determined in different ways.
Density is usually expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL) for liquids, grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for solids, and grams per liter (g/L) for gases.
7
Freezing point The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.
8
Boiling point The boiling point of an element or compound means the temperature at which the liquid form of an element or compound is at equilibrium with the gaseous form. the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
9
Melting point The temperatures at which the solid form of the element or compound is at equilibrium with the liquid form. Basically the range at which the solid changes its state into a liquid. The melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
10
Heat Solubility in water Malleability, ductility, hardness, odor
11
Physical Properties Physical properties are used to identify, describe and classify matter. Characteristic of a substance that can be observed (using your senses) without changing the substance into something else. Hardness Texture Color Odor Taste Temperature
12
Physical Properties of Na, Cl and NaCl

13
CLASSIFICATION OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
1. EXTENSIVE/ EXTRINSIC Vary with the amount of the sample or can vary in the same kind of sample
14
CLASSIFICATION OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
2. INTENSIVE/ INTRINSIC Do not vary with the amount of the sample but on the kind Inherent in the sample of matter and do not vary in the same sample of the same kind
15
WHAT about if there is a change in the intensive properties of a substance, it is still under the physical properties?
