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
