Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Physical Property: An observable and measurable attribute of a substance without altering its identity.
- Melting Point: The specific temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a liquid.
- Boiling Point: The specific temperature and pressure where a liquid transitions into a gas.
- Density: Defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume, represented by the formula D = m/v.
- Color: Can indicate a chemical change but is not a reliable identifier on its own.
Chemical Properties
- Chemical Property: Observed when substances react with others, resulting in the formation of new substances.
- Flammability: A chemical property indicating the ability of a substance to combust rapidly in the presence of oxygen.
- Rusting: A slow chemical reaction, particularly involving iron, with oxygen leading to corrosion.
- Reactivity: Refers to how readily a substance combines chemically with others.
Examples of Properties
- Physical Properties of Matter: Include melting point, boiling point, density, color, conductivity, ductility, and malleability.
- Chemical Properties of Matter: Include the ability to burn, rust, and reactivity with other substances.
Additional Physical Properties
- Conductivity: The capacity of a substance to conduct heat or electricity.
- Ductility: The ability to be drawn into wires.
- Malleability: The ability to be shaped or flattened without breaking.
- Texture: Describes the feel of a substance's surface.
- Odor: A change in odor can signal a chemical change.
- Magnetism: The attraction a substance has to a magnetic field.
- Solubility: The ease with which a substance dissolves in another.
Chemical Change Indicators
- Signs of Chemical Change: Include color changes, odor changes, gas production, and heat generation.
- Precipitate: A solid product formed during a chemical reaction involving two liquids.
States of Matter
- State of Matter: Describes matter in its solid, liquid, or gas forms.
Thermal and Electrical Conductivity
- Thermal Conductivity: The ability of a substance to transfer heat to another material.
- Electrical Conductivity: The capability of a substance to conduct electricity; commonly high in metals.
Luster
- Luster: A physical property describing whether a substance appears shiny or dull, with metals typically exhibiting a shiny appearance.
