1. 2/24/12 OBJECTIVE: Students will identify physical and chemical properties. WARM-UP: Identify 5 common elements. HOMEWORK: None.

2. Chemical and Physical Properties

3. 1. Physical Property Any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material. Any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material.

4. 2. Examples of Physical Properties Viscosity- resistance to flowing Viscosity- resistance to flowing Conductivity Conductivity Malleability- ability to be hammered without shattering Malleability- ability to be hammered without shattering Hardness Hardness Melting and Boiling Point Melting and Boiling Point Density Density

5. 3. Chemical Properties The ability to produce a change in composition of matter. The ability to produce a change in composition of matter. Ex: flammability- ability to burn in the presence of oxygen Ex: flammability- ability to burn in the presence of oxygen Reactivity- how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances Reactivity- how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances

6. 4. Evidence of a Chemical Change Change in color Change in color –Silver bracelet turns black over time –Match burns- turns black –Statue of Liberty (made of what metal) Production of a gas (vinegar and baking soda) Production of a gas (vinegar and baking soda) –Bubbles form when mixed together –Bubbles make a cake rise when baking Form a precipitate Form a precipitate –A solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture –(milk and lemonade)

7. How do you tell the difference between chemical and physical properties? Let’s look at some examples and see if we can come up with a definition for a chemical property and a physical property. Let’s look at some examples and see if we can come up with a definition for a chemical property and a physical property. We will show you the substance, We will show you the substance, you write on the white board if you predict that the substance is a “chemical” or “physical” property. “chemical” or “physical” property.
