Physical Property

A property that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical composition.

Chemical Property

A characteristic that describes how a substance reacts with other substances or changes its chemical composition.

Physical Change

A change in the physical state of a substance that does not alter its chemical makeup.

Chemical Change

A change in the chemical composition of a substance, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties.

Study Notes

Physical Properties

  • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
  • Physical properties describe matter without changing its identity
  • These properties can be size-dependent or size-independent

Size-Dependent Properties

  • Mass: a measure of the amount of matter in an object
  • Weight: the force of gravity acting on an object's mass
  • Volume: the amount of space an object or substance occupies

Size-Independent Properties

  • Luster: a gentle sheen or soft glow
  • Texture: the feel or consistency of a surface or substance
  • Color: the appearance of a substance
  • Malleability: the ability to be shaped into something without breaking
  • Hardness: the resistance to scratching by another object
  • State of matter: solid, liquid, or gas
  • Melting and freezing point: temperature at which a substance changes between a solid and a liquid
  • Boiling Point: temperature at which a substance changes between a liquid and a gas
  • Solubility: the ability of one substance to dissolve into another
  • Conductivity: the ability to carry an electric current or thermal energy
  • Density: the amount of mass per unit of volume
  • Magnetism: the motion of electric charge resulting in attractive and repulsive forces
  • Viscosity: a liquid's resistance to flow

Chemical Properties

  • Chemical properties describe how matter changes into a different substance
  • Flammability: the ability to support burning
  • Reaction with oxygen: characteristic of a substance reacting with oxygen
  • Reaction with sulfur: characteristic of a substance reacting with sulfur
  • Acidity: the amount of hydrogen or hydronium ions present in a solution

Changes in Matter

  • Physical Change: a change in form or appearance, but no new substance is formed; it can be reversed
  • Chemical Change: a change where one or more new substances are formed, different from the original; it cannot be reversed.
  • Indicators of a Chemical Change: color change, gas production (bubbles, foaming, smoke), change in oder, emission of energy (light, heat, or sound)
