2 Physical properties Property Description Examples
Electrical conductivity Ability to carry electricity Copper wiring Heat conductivity Ability to transfer energy as heat Aluminum pots and pans Density Mass-to-volume ratio of a substance (how tightly packed a substance is) Lead sinkers for fishing Melting point Temperature at which solid changes to liquid Ice  liquid water Boiling point Temperature at which liquid changes to gas Liquid water  vapor Malleability Ability to be hammered or beaten into thing sheets Silver jewelry Ductility Ability to be drawn into a thin wire Tantalum dental tools

3 CHEMICAL PROPERTIES A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Examples: flammability, reactivity with other chemicals; enthalpy of formation; heat of combustion; oxidation states; chemical stability; types of chemical bonds that will form Scientists use chemical properties to predict whether a sample will participate in a chemical reaction. Chemical properties may be used to classify compounds and find applications for them.

Classification of matter

5 Temperature scales and conversions
Fahrenheit Celsius (SI system) ° F = 1.8(°C)+ 32 ° C = (5/9)(°F-32) Kelvin (Absolute) Temperature scale K = ° C + 273 Temperature scales and conversions

6 Celsius Temperature Scale
The Celsius temperature scale “centigrade" scale ("consisting of or divided into 100 degrees.“) Andres Celsius (Swedish; ) developed the centigrade scale for scientific purposes. 100 degrees between freezing point (0˚C) & boiling point (100˚C) of pure water at sea level. An international conference on weights and measures voted to name the centigrade scale after its inventor in

7 The Kelvin scale Based on the Celsius scale, but has no negative numbers. Zero on the Kelvin scale is considered to be absolute zero; that is, the point at which all-molecular motion stops. K = °C + 273
