Study Notes
Physical Properties
- State: Describes the physical form of a substance (solid, liquid, gas).
- Color: Describes the hue of a substance.
- Odor: Describes the smell of a substance.
- Texture: Describes the feel of a substance.
- Hardness: Measures a substance's resistance to scratching.
- Malleability: The ability of a substance to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets.
- Ductility: The ability of a substance to be drawn into wires.
- Brittleness: The tendency for a substance to break easily.
- Lustre/Shininess: Describes if a substance reflects light.
- Clarity: The transparency or opaqueness of a substance.
- Viscosity: Describes a liquid's resistance to flow.
Chemical Properties
- Corrosive: Capable of damaging other substances through chemical reactions.
- Flammable: Easily ignitable and capable of burning.
- Reactive: Easily undergoing change when in contact with another substance.
Evidence of Physical Changes
- Changes of state: e.g., melting, freezing, boiling.
- Blending and Mixing: Combining substances; no new substance is formed.
- Dissolving: When a substance mixes with a solvent (e.g. sugar dissolving into water).
- Cutting: Changing the shape or size of a substance.
- Crushing: Changing the size or shape of a substance by applying force.
- Change in size and shape (e.g., stretching a wire).
- Change in size or shape (e.g., crushing a piece of paper).
- Change in physical state or form: e.g., evaporation, condensation, deposition.
Evidence of Chemical Changes
- Color Change: Change in hue.
- Odor change: Change in smell.
- Heat or light being produced or absorbed.
- Gas is produced.
- Formation of a precipitate: A solid forming in a solution.
- Formation of a new substance (with different properties).
- Formation of a new substance that's an entirely different element, compound, or mixture.
- Formation of a new substance, often with a change of color, smell, or the production of a gas, and commonly with an indication of energy production or absorption.
Physical Changes
- Usually reversible
- No new substance is formed
- Examples include: Change of state, blending, dissolving, cutting, crushing, stretching, resizing, changing size or shape.
Chemical Changes
- Usually not reversible, but some can be reversed with further chemical reactions.
- A new substance is formed
- Examples include: Burning, Corroding, rusting, exploding, reacting with an acid, mixing some substances to create a gas.
