Correct Physical properties Worksheet in GC

Chemistry Notes: Physical properties 10/4/2023

1. physical property - a characteristic that you can observe or measure without changing the identity of the matter.

   • State - solid, liquid, gas

     • during changes of state, particle motion changes but the substance remains the same.

     • type of atoms not changed

     • molecules/chemical formulas not changed

   • Mass - amount of matter an object contains

   • volume - amount of space an object occupies

   • melting point - temperature at which a solid turns to a liquid

   • boiling point - temperature at which a liquid turns to a gas

   • density - ratio of mass per unit of volume of a substance

   • conductivity - how well a substance can conduct (conduct (carry along) electricty/heat

     • electrical conductivity

     • thermal conductivity

   • solubility - the ability of one substance (solute) to dissolve in another (solvent)

   • magnetism - a force of attraction between certain metals

2. Some properties are size dependent.

   • The measurement varies with the amount of matter

   • mass, volume, dimensions of size

   • these are properties of objects, not substances
