Study Notes
Types of Properties
- Intensive property: observed or measured without changing the nature of the matter
- Extensive property: demonstrates the potential for making a new substance or describes how matter will interact
Physical Properties
- Malleability: indicates that a substance can be hammered into thin sheets, shaped, or molded without breaking
Properties for Classification
- Physical property: helps classify and identify matter without fundamentally changing it
- Chemical property: describes how elements or compounds are likely to interact with one another to form new substances
SI System
- The SI system does not include the calorie as one of its 7 base units
- The main reason for creating the SI system was to establish a consistent and standardized system of measurement
- The original standards for the SI units were based on physical objects, such as the meter being based on the length of a metal bar
- The use of physical objects as standards has caused inconsistency in the SI units over time
- The standards for the SI units have been changed to be based on fundamental physical constants, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency
