Study Notes
Physical Properties
- Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of a material.
- Examples of physical properties:
- Color: the color of a material
- Odor: the smell of a material
- Texture: the feel or surface quality of a material
- Density: the mass per unit volume of a material
- Melting and Boiling Points: the temperatures at which a material changes state
- Solubility: the ability of a material to dissolve in a solvent
- Viscosity: the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties are characteristics that describe a material's ability to undergo a specific chemical change or reaction.
- Examples of chemical properties:
- Flammability: the ability of a material to catch fire
- Reactivity: the ability of a material to react with other substances
- Corrosion resistance: the ability of a material to withstand chemical reactions that cause deterioration
- Toxicity: the ability of a material to cause harm to living organisms
- Ph: the measure of a material's acidity or basicity
- Oxidation state: the measure of the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom during a chemical reaction
