    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) electricity/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
