Study Notes

  • Physical properties are characteristics of matter that can be observed and measured without changing the substance's identity
  • Intensive properties are dependent on the state of matter and do not change with the quantity of matter, examples include:
    • Boiling point
    • Density
    • Color
    • Odor
    • Temperature
    • Refractive index
    • Luster
    • Hardness
    • Ductility
    • Malleability
    • Electrical conductivity
    • Solubility
  • Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter, examples include:
    • Volume
    • Mass
    • Size
    • Weight
    • Length
  • Density is defined as the mass of a unit volume of a material and is classified as an intensive property because it is the ratio of mass and volume
  • Odor is a physical property that determines distinctive smells and is an intensive property since it does not depend on the quantity of matter
  • Color is an observable trait that determines the appearance of matter and is an intensive property
  • Hardness is the ability of a material to resist fracture and is an intensive property
  • Length is the longest dimension of an object and is an extensive property
  • Melting point is the temperature at which a substance melts and is an intensive property that can vary depending on pressure. It is expressed in Kelvin, degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, or degrees Newton.
