Physical properties
Which substance is the Statue of Liberty made of?

Study Notes
- The chemical properties of matter determine how it behaves during a chemical reaction.
- Matter can exist as a pure substance (element), compound, or mixture.
- The Statue of Liberty is made of copper, which reacts with oxygen to form copper oxide and turn green.
- Physical properties can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance.
- Chemical properties occur at the atomic level and involve the interaction of one substance with another.
- pH is a chemical property that measures the concentration of H+ ions in a substance.
- Acidic substances release many H+ ions when dissolved in water, while basic substances release OH- ions.
- The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume, which stays constant within a phase but changes during phase transitions.
- The density generally decreases as a substance melts and vaporizes, with solids being denser than liquids and liquids denser than gases.
- The chemical properties of a substance determine its behavior during a chemical change, such as copper reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
