Physical and Chemical Properties Defined

INB - Page Ability to burn – Ability to undergo combustion or be consumed as fuel. Ability to rust - The ability of iron to interact with oxygen and moisture. This interaction creates a brown oxide coating. Ability to corrode – Ability to wear away little by little (as by rust or acid) Thermal Conductivity - capability of conducting heat Electrical Conductivity - capability of conducting electricity

State/Phase – solid, liquid, gas or plasma Malleability - capable of being extended or shaped by hammering or by pressure from rollers Ductility - capable of being drawn out into wire or thread Solubility - The amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent. Mass Volume Density

Melting Point & Freezing Point Boiling Point & Condensation Point Texture - the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance Magnetism - a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects Luster - the state or quality of shining by reflecting light

Viscosity - the property of resistance to flow in a fluid or semifluid Hardness - The relative resistance of a mineral to scratching, as measured by the Mohs scale. Elasticity - the ability of an object or material to resume its normal shape after being stretched or compressed; stretchiness Brittleness - A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it breaks without significant deformationstress
