Physical Properties Characteristics of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance Examples: color, shape, mass, length, and odor
Chemical Properties Characteristics of a substance that indicates how it will react with other substances (“the ability to…”) The original substance is changed in observing a chemical property Examples: flammability, combustibility, neutralization, and ‘reactions’
Examples of Properties
Questions: Properties P =Physical Property C =Chemical Property The red color of an apple The ability of iron to rust Flammability of Gasoline Smell of roses Size of a pencil Density Acids react with bases
Physical Changes A change where the original substance still exists The substance only changes form Examples: cut, dissolved, absorbed, a phase change Click next slide to play video
Chemical Changes A change where a new substance is produced; the atoms have been rearranged When you can’t get the original substance back Properties of the new substance will be different
Chemical Changes Easily identified by the term ‘reacts’ Other ‘clues’: Release of a gas Change in color Release of energy (heat, light, etc.) Formation of a precipitate

Questions: Changes P = Physical Changes; C= Chemical Changes Cutting wood Digestion Baking bread Dissolving salt in water An apple rotting Melting ice Silver tarnishing
Law of Conservation of Mass Changes in state does not change the number of molecules in the substance or mixture 100 g of ice = 100 g of water = 100 g of water vapor
Rock Cycle Metamormphic Rock MELTING to Magma Magma COOLING to Igneous Rock Weathering of Igneous Rock to form Sediment Cementation of Sediment to form Sedimentary Rock
