Chemical & Physical Properties of Matter
3
Chemical Properties Characteristics that are observed ONLY when a substance changes into a different substance
4
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Combustible/flammable: able to burn
5
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Combustible/flammable: able to burn Examples & Facts: all chemicals come with a label that identifies their level of flammability
6
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Combustible/flammable: able to burn Examples & Facts: oxygen & hydrogen are very flammable gases carbon dioxide is not a very flammable gas
7
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Reactivity: how easily a substance reacts with another substance
8
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Reactivity: how easily a substance reacts with another substance Examples & Facts: many chemicals react with water or oxygen all chemicals come with a label that identifies their level of reactivity
9
Chemical Properties Types of Chemical Properties: Reactivity: how easily a substance reacts with another substance Examples & Facts: corrosion: slow reaction & wearing away of metals (rusting, tarnishing)
10
Physical Properties Characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance into something else
11
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: color texture odor taste hardness magnetic boiling, melting, & freezing points
12
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Luster: shininess or dullness
13
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Luster: shininess or dullness Examples & Facts: most metals are shiny diamonds have a lot of luster many minerals are dull
14
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Brittleness: how easily a substance breaks into pieces
15
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Brittleness: how easily a substance breaks into pieces Examples & Facts: very brittle substances may crumble or break with very little force
16
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Brittleness: how easily a substance breaks into pieces Examples & Facts: many rocks & minerals are brittle chalk is brittle because it crumbles easily
17
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Malleable: can be pounded into shapes
18
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Malleable: can be pounded into shapes Examples & Facts: aluminum is very malleable clay is also malleable substances that are malleable are usually not very brittle
19
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Ductile: can be pulled out into a long wire
20
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Ductile: can be pulled out into a long wire Examples & Facts: substances may be both malleable & ductile copper is very malleable & ductile substances that are ductile are usually not very brittle
21
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Conductive: can transmit heat and/or electricity
22
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Conductive: can transmit heat and/or electricity Examples & Facts: a substance may conduct heat, electricity, neither, or both most metals are good conductors
23
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Conductive: can transmit heat and/or electricity Examples & Facts: pots & pans are made out of metals that are good heat conductors
24
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Soluble: can be dissolved in a liquid
25
Physical Properties Types of Physical Properties: Soluble: can be dissolved in a liquid Examples & Facts: substances that are “water- soluble” will dissolve in water salt & sugar are soluble in water substances that don’t dissolve are “insoluble”
26
Properties Practice 1.Choose an object from the “Bucket of Junk.” 2.Record the object’s name in the data table. 3.Check off each of the properties you observe and infer that object to have. 4.Return the object to the bucket and choose another. 5.Continue until you’ve identified the properties of 6 objects.
