Properties of Materials

Hardness is the property of an object that makes it withstand

pressure. Metals, wood, and stones are hard. They are used to
make things that need to make things that need to be sturdy like
construction materials for buildings, bridges, and houses.

Brittleness refers to the ability of an object to be easily broken or

crushed into pieces. Most of the fragile objects at home are brittle
such as glassware and mirrors. Once; these objects fall onto the
floor, they easily break into smaller pieces.

Properties of Materials

Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered or beaten

flat. Gold, silver, and copper are malleable that can be formed into
different pieces of jewelries

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched or pulled out

and be formed into fine thin wires.

Flexibility is the ability of a material to be bent without breaking.

Wires, rubber, cloth and some plastic are flexible materials that
can be folded, pressed or stored.
Properties of Materials

Elasticity is the ability of a material to be stretched and returned

to their original form when released.

Porosity. Porous objects have tiny pores that allow them to easily
absorb liquids. Examples of porous object are cotton and kitchen
sponge.

Density refers to the amount of mass in a given volume. It is the

property that makes some objects float in water.
Properties of Materials

Solubility refers to the ability of a substance to be dissolved in

another substance.

Viscosity refers to the property of liquids that resist flowing.

Other Properties of Materials

Opaque - you cannot see through

Brittle - hard but easily broken
Rough - uneven surface
Transparent - you can see through it completely
Translucent - you can see through it a bit
