5
Electrical conductivity - ability for a substance to conduct electricity Magnetism – ability to attract iron Solubility – ability to dissolve in another substance Ductility – ability to be pulled into wire Malleability - the ability to be rolled or pounded into sheets. Ex – aluminum

Color change Odor produced or changed Energy released (in form of sound, heat, or light) Flammability – ability to burn. Ex. Wood Non flammability – inability to burn ex. Ash and smoke Reactivity – ability to combine with one or more substances and form one or more new substances Ex. Iron is reactive to oxygen, creating rust. (iron + oxygen= rust) Non-reactivity – inability to combine with one or more substances to form new substances. Ex. Chromium + oxygen = chromium + oxygen
9
Bubbling or clouding in mixture Precipitate forms
