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.
