1 The Physical Properties of Matter
Unit I – 1 Pages 44-47

2 What is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space

3 Properties Characteristics or ways of describing things

4 Physical Property Are usually those that we can observe with our senses A substance's physical property allows us to identify the substance without causing a change in the composition of the substance.

5 Physical Property Some examples of physical properties are:
physical state (solid, liquid or gas at certain temperatures and pressures) colour odor solubility in water (the ability of substance to dissolve in water) density melting point / boiling point hardness ductility malleability conductivity

6 Intensive or Extensive
A physical property can be intensive or extensive Extensive property depends on the amount of substance present can not be used to id a substance Eg. Mass and Volume

7 Intensive or Extensive
Intensive property Depends on the nature of the substance not on the amount present E.g. Boiling point/melting point/ density

9 Chemical Properties Are those that relate to how the substance changes in composition Or how it interacts with other substances.

10 Chemical Properties Some examples of chemical properties are:
paper burns iron rusts gold does not rust wood rots nitrogen does not burn silver does not react with water sodium reacts with water
