Study Notes
Properties Overview
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of substance present. Examples include mass and volume.
- Intensive Properties: Independent of the amount of substance. Key examples are color, hardness, density, melting point, ductility, odor, and malleability.
- Chemical Properties: Involve the ability of a substance to undergo chemical changes. Examples include combustibility and corrosion tendency.
Intensive Physical Properties
- Color: An essential characteristic that defines the appearance of a substance.
- Hardness: Measures resistance to scratching; varies greatly, e.g., diamond is extremely hard compared to chalk.
- Density: Remains constant regardless of the amount of material, crucial for identifying substances.
- Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance transitions from solid to liquid; part of intensive physical properties.
- Ductility: The ability of a material to be stretched into a wire without breaking.
- Odor: The scent or smell associated with a substance, significant in identifying chemical compositions.
- Malleability: The capability of a substance, often metals, to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets.
Extensive Physical Properties
- Mass: A measure of the quantity of matter in a substance; varies directly with the amount present.
- Volume: The amount of space a substance occupies; also varies with the quantity of the substance.
Chemical Properties
- Combustibility: The ability of a substance to burn or explode, a key indicator of its reactivity.
- Failure to react with other substances: Indicates stability and the likelihood of a substance undergoing chemical change.
- Tendency to corrode: Describes a material's likelihood of deteriorating when interacting with environmental factors, particularly for metals.
