1. Qualitative and Quantitative Physical Properties of Matter

2. Physical Properties
Are characteristics of a substance that can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance Physical Properties Qualitative vs Quantitative

3. Qualitative Physical Properties
Qualitative properties of a substance can be observed through the senses: sight, sound taste, smell, touch
What are some examples?

4. Examples of Qualitative Properties
State
Clarity
Colour
Odour
Homogeneity
Taste
Texture
Lustre
Ductility
Malleability
Brittleness

5. Sodium Metal

6. Copper Metal

7. Quantitative Physical Properties
Can be measured and assigned a particular value
They are often unique to a particular element or compound
Recorded values are available for reference (can look it up)

8. Examples of Quantitative Properties
Have a numerical value
Melting point
Boiling point
Density
conductivity
Solubility
Viscosity
Hardness

10. Chemical Properties

11. Chemical Property
Chemical properties of matter are those that relate to how the substance changes in composition or how it interacts with other substances.
Reaction with water
Reaction with acid
Combustibility
Reactivity /Explosive
Corrosion (rust, tarnish)
