    Study Notes

    Physical Properties

    • A physical property is a characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing its identity.
    • Physical properties can be observed using our five senses or measured.
    • Examples of physical properties that can be observed without changing the identity of the object:
      • Color
      • Texture
      • Shape
      • Mass (how much matter an object contains, also referred to as how heavy something is)
      • Volume (how much space something takes up)
      • State (solid, liquid, gas).
      • Density (the amount of mass packed into a certain volume)
      • Conductivity (how well a material conducts heat or electricity).
      • Solubility (how well a material dissolves in another material).
      • Magnetism (the ability to be attracted to a magnet).
      • Ductility (the ability of a material to be stretched or bent into a wire without breaking).

    More Physical Properties

    • Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
    • Boiling Point: The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
    • Density: The relationship between mass and volume.
    • Appearance: The color and the shape of an object.
    • Luster: The quality of shining by reflecting light. This can be glassy, gloss or glitter.
    • Brittleness: The ability of a material to easily break, damage or be destroyed.
    • Odor: The way something smells
    • Conductivity: The ability of a material to conduct heat or electricity.
    • Magnetism: The attraction of a material to a magnetic field.
    • Ductility: The ability of a material to be drawn out into a thin wire.
