Physical Properties
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Brittle | Likely to break, snap, or crack when subjected to pressure |
| Conductivity | A property that describes if heat or electrical charges pass through the material easily |
| Density | The amount of matter in a given space or volume, a relationship between mass and volume |
| Displacement | A way to measure the volume of a solid by placing it in a known amount of liquid |
| Ductility | A property that describes if the material has the ability to be pulled into thin wire without breaking |
| Luster | The way the surface of a mineral reflects light; either metallic or non-metallic such as silky, dull, glassy, or resinous |
| Malleability | A property that describes the ability of the material to be rolled or hammered into thin sheets |
| Metal | An element that is typically a hard, shiny solid, is malleable, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity |
| Metalloid | An element that shares some properties of metals and some of non-metals |
| Non-metal | An element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature, is not malleable or ductile, is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and is typically not shiny |
| Overflow Can | A can used for measuring the volume of an object (usually an irregular shaped one) by fluid displacement |
| Physical Property | Those characteristics that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance such as size, shape, luster, conductivity, malleability, and magnetic attraction |
