physical properties of matter
Cards (49)
- Physical Properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
- Mass means amount of matter. It is expressed in grams or kilograms
- Volume is the space occupied by matter. It may be expressed in milliliters or liters.
- Solubility is the ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid.
- Miscibility is the ability of a liquid to dissolve in another liquid.v
- Hardness is the property of a solid to resist compression or scratching.
- Malleability is the ability of a metal to be flattened into sheets.
- Melting Point is the temperature at which a substance begins to change from solid to liquid.
- Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance begins to bubble up and change from liquid to gas.
- Conductivity is the ability of some materials to conduct heat or electricity.
- Ductility is the ability of some materials to be drawn into wires.
- Brittleness is the property of some materials that makes them easily break or crumble to pieces.
- Extensive properties vary with a change in quantity or which depend on the amount.
- Intensive properties depend on the kind of matter regardless of the amount.
- Intensive Color
- intensive taste
- intensive odor
- intensive hardness
- intensive density
- intensive malleability
- intensive boiling point
- intensive freezing point
- extensive weight
- extensive mass
- extensive volume
- extensive length
- extensive width
- extensive thickness
- extensive area
- extensive height
- Density is the ratio of mass to volume. A larger or a smaller sample of the same substance will always have the same density. Thus, being an intensive property, never changes.
- density of gold is 19.3
- the density of copper is 8.94
- the density of aluminum is 2.70
- the density of table salt is 2.16
- the density of ice is 0.92
- the density of balsa wood is 0.13
- the density of mercury is 13.60
- the density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.60
- the density of water is 1.00
