1 Chemistry Chemical/Physical Properties & Changes

2 What is Matter? Think and Discuss Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space Mass – the amount of matter in something Volume – the amount of space something occupies

3 What is Matter? Matter is any substance that has both mass and volume. Almost everything around us is matter including air and other gases.

4 What is a property? Property: a characteristic of a substance that can be observed

5 Types of Properties 1.Chemical Properties 2.Physical Properties  Quantitative vs. Qualitative Properties

6 Properties Chemical Property – Describes the ability of a substance to form one or more different substances (ability to participate in chemical reactions) –The substance is combustible (will burn) –The substance is flammable or reactive Physical Property-The characteristics of a substance that does not involve a chemical change. –Height, weight, colour, etc. –Includes qualitative and quantitative properties

7 Types of Properties Qualitative properties are descriptive properties. –Example- The car is red. Quantatitive properties involve measurements

8 Physical Properties continued….. luster malleability: the ability to be hammered into a thin sheet ductility: the ability to be stretched into a wire melting point boiling point density solubility specific heat

9 Definition of Change Change: the act of altering a substance

10 Physical change : a change that occurs that does not change the identity of the substance –Melting ice( change in state or phase) –Freezing Kool-aid –Tearing paper –Boiling water

11 Chemical change: a change that occurs causing the identity of the substance to change –Burning –Digesting food –Reacting with other substances A chemical change is called a chemical reaction

12 Chemical Change Clues 1.A color change occurs. 2. An odor is produced 3. Formation of bubbles 4.Heat is absorbed or given off. 5.Formation of a precipitate (solid) Keep in mind these are only clues that a chemical change may have taken place. Proof still depends on a new substance being formed with new properties.

13 Is it a Physical or Chemical Change? The following video will help explain the differences between Physical and Chemical Changes.
