PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES OF MATTER
8th gr. Physical Science
Properties
are used to identify a
substance
Physical
properties are those that
can be observed using your five
senses, without changing the
identity of the substance
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Color
Shape/Structure- crystalline
Size
Smell
Hardness
Freezing point, boiling point and
melting point
Magnetism- attraction or repulsion to
magnets
Conductivity- electrical and thermal
MORE TO EXPLORE…
Conductivity- electrical and thermal #1
Luster- #1
Ductile- #2
Malleable- #2
Density- #3
Viscosity- #3
Opacity- #4
Transparency- #4
Solubility- #4
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Transparent- a material that allows light to
pass through it (you can see through it)
Opaque- a material that does not allow light to
pass through (you cannot see through it)
Solubility- the ability of a substance to dissolve
into another or allow other substances to dissolve
into it.
Density- the measure of how much mass is
contained in a given volume. D= m/v
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Viscosity- the resistance of a liquid to flow.
Honey is more viscous than water.
Malleable- ability of a metal to be hammered
into a shape or rolled into a thin sheet
Ductile- the ability of a metal to be drawn into a
wire
Conductivity- property of a metal and alloys
that allows heat or electricity to pass through
them easily.
Luster- property of a metal and alloys that
allows them to reflect light (SHINY)
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Chemical
properties:
Properties that DO change
that chemical nature of
matter
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Heat
of combustion -#1
Flammability- #2
pH- #3
Reactivity- #4
Corrosiveness- #2
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Heat of combustion- the temperature at which
a material will combust or catch fire.
Flammability- the tendency of an object to burn
(some object burn easily and are highly
flammable, some objects do not burn and are not
flammable.)
Corrosiveness- When a substance reacts with
air or water and it breaks down (Rusting and
tarnishing are examples)
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
pH- a measure of the concentration of hydronium
ions in a solution using a scale that ranges from
0-14.
0-6.9 are acids (orange juice)
7 is neutral (water)
7.1-14 are bases (soap)
The closer to 0 the more acidic
The closer to 14 the more basic aka alkaline
Reactivity- the ease and speed at which an
element or a compound will combine/react with
other elements and compounds.
PHYSICAL CHANGES
Physical
change takes place when a
substance changes size, shape, or
state of matter BUT a new
substances is NOT formed.
PHYSICAL CHANGES
Examples:
Paper
Rip it
Crumple it
Shred it
Color on it
Fold it
CHEMICAL CHANGES
Occurs
when one or more
substances change into a NEW
substance
CHEMICAL CHANGES
Examples:
Burning paper
Rusting a nail
Rot an apple
Eating an apple
INDICATORS OF A CHEMICAL CHANGE
Gas
is released (bubbles)
Heat
is released (exothermic)
Heat
is absorbed (endothermic)
Change
in odor
Change
in color
MORE INDICATORS
Light
is given off
Sound
is given off
Precipitate
forms (When 2
liquids are added together and
they form a solid)
HOW TO SEPARATE MATERIALS USING
PHYSICAL MEANS:
Distillation-
#1
Filtration- #2
Magnetism- #3
Density- #4
