Physical Properties of Matter
Properties of Matter:
Size, Weight, Mass, Shape, Odor, sound
Senses:
Feel, Sight, Hear, Smell, Taste
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter.
Properties of Matter
A property describes how an object looks, feels, or acts.
The objects shown here have different kinds of properties.
The measurement of mass and other characteristics that can be seen without changing how that object looks are its physical properties.
When you look at oranges, you know that they are oranges because of their color, shape, and smell.
Mass, color, shape, volume, and density are some physical properties.
The answers to the question about the present are physical properties.
Categorized as either Intensive or Extensive:
Intensive
- Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present.
Color
Odor
Luster
- How shiny a substance is
Malleability
- The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets
Ductility
- The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires
Conductivity
- The ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity
Hardness
- How easily a substance can be scratched
Melting/Freezing Point
- The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure
Boiling point
- The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure)
Physical properties
