Study Notes
States of Matter
- Water, when heated, changes from a liquid to a gas (steam) at 100°C.
- Water, when cooled, changes from a liquid to a solid (ice) at 0°C.
- These changes do not alter the water's fundamental nature.
Physical Properties
- Physical properties describe matter without changing its identity.
- Examples of physical properties include color, odor, taste, and state (liquid, solid, gas).
- Physical properties include:
Physical State
- Physical state describes the form of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) at a given temperature
Density
- Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume.
- Lead is denser than water, making it suitable for fishing weights.
- Higher density indicates greater mass in the same volume.
Malleability
- Malleability is the ability to be shaped or hammered into sheets without shattering.
- Aluminum can be hammered into sheets, like aluminum foil.
Ductility
- Ductility is the ability to be drawn into wires or threads.
- Candy taffy is ductile.
Thermal Conductivity
- Thermal conductivity is the ability to transfer heat.
- Metals are good thermal conductors, used in cookware.
Electrical Conductivity
- Electrical conductivity is the ability to conduct electricity.
