 Matter has Observable Properties

 Physical Property: A characteristic of a

substance that can be observed without
changing the identity of the substance.

 Size
 Texture
 Color
 Shape
 Mass

 Volume
 Matter has Observable Properties
 Physical Change:

 A change in any
physical property of a
substance, not in the
substance itself.

 Stretching a rubber
band is a physical
change because the
size changes however,
the material that
makes up the rubber
band does not change www.learner.org
 Physical Properties
 DensityThe amount
of matter in a given
volume.
 D=m/v(mass/volume)
 Ice cubes float in
water because they
are less dense than
liquid water

 Calculating Density
Density= Mass/Volume

 A marble has a volume of 5 cm3 and a

mass of 15 g. What is the density of the
marble?

 I: m=15 g, V= 5 cm3
 F: D=M/V
 S:D=15g/ 5 cm3
 M: D= 3
 U: 3g/cm3
 Physical Properties
 Ductility The ability to be pulled into a thin strand
 Wire, Paper clip, Copper wire

 Physical Properties
 Malleability: The ability to be pressed or
pounded into a thin sheet
 Tin foil

 Physical Properties
 Boiling Point: The
temperature at which
a substance changes
from a liquid to a gas

 Water to steam

 Physical Properties
 Melting point: The
temperature at which
a substance changes
from a solid to a
liquid

 Ice cube melts to a

puddle of water

 Physical Properties
 Electrical
conductivity: How
well a substance
allows electricity to
flow through it

 Water conducts
electricity so never
swim during a genchem.chem.wisc.edu
lightning storm
 Physical Propeties
 Solubility: The
ability to dissolve in
another substance

 Adding sugar to
coffee

 Chemical Properties of Matter

 Chemical Properties: Describe how

substances can form new substances
 Chemical properties can be identified by
the changes that they produce

 Chemical Change: The change of one

substance into another substance
 Signs of a Chemical Change
 Production of an
odor

 Eggs rotting produce

a sulfur smell

 Lightning produces a
fresh and clean smell
due to its reaction
with Oxygen in the www.panelbuildersinc.net
atmosphere
 Signs of a Chemical Change
 Change in
Temperature

 Exothermic Reaction:
Energy is released and
surrounding area of
reaction increases www.webergallery.com/Rusting%20Away-CT.htm

temperature (Rusting)

 Endothermic Reaction:
Energy is absorbed and
surrounding area of
reaction decreases in
temperature (antacid and www.superstock.com/stock-photos-images/1613R-7178

water)
 Signs of a Chemical Change

 Change in Color
 Fruit ripening
(green tomatoes to
red tomatoes)
 Rust

 Signs of a Chemical Change

 Formation of
Bubbles

 Vinegar and baking

soda

 Antacid and water

 Signs of a Chemical Change
 Formation of a
Solid or
Precipitate:

 The shells of clams

and mussels are
precipitates from a
chemical change of
substances from the
