Properties and changes Both Physical and Chemical
Learning goals We are learning to identify physical and chemical properties. We are learning to identify physical and chemical changes.
Physical property describes a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured
Physical properties of water cohesion – water sticks to itself forms beads on non-adhesive surfaces adhesion – water sticks to other substances allows you to mop up water with a towel

Physical properties
Make a chart like this … Physical Property Description Examples
Colour and lustre Light a substance reflects gives it a colour and lustre Gold is shiny Concrete is dull
conductivity Ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat Conductors – most metals (copper used for electrical wires) Insulator – little or no conductivity (Styrofoam and glass)
density The amount of mass in a given volume of a substance Density of pure water is 1.0 g/mL Water is denser than oil, so oil floats on water Mass = Density X Volume
ductility Any solid that can be stretched into a long wire copper
hardness Substances ability to resist being scratched Diamond is the hardest
malleability A substance that can be pounded or rolled into sheets Aluminum foil, gold and tin
viscosity The resistance of a fluid to flow Syrup has a high viscosity compared to water
Chemical properties describes the ability of a substance to change into a new substance(s) Absorbs heat during reaction Combustible Forms gas when heated Reacts with acid Reacts with water Emits heat during reaction Emits light during reaction Forms a precipitate (solid) in a solution
Physical change the matter involved can experience a change in one of the following criteria: Change in SIZE (cutting a gold block in half) Change in SHAPE (making a paper airplane) Change in STATE (ice cube melting) Making a SOLUTION (salt dissolved in water) No new substance is made, and all changes are reversible.
Chemical change always results in the formation of a new substance(s) chemical reaction evidence of a chemical change include: Colour change Odour change Temp change Production of light Formation of precipitate Production of gas (bubbles)
