Chemical/Physical
Properties and Changes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Physical Properties | The characteristics of an object that can be observed without changing the identity of an object. |
| Physical Changes | A change where no new substance is created. These changes are mostly reversible. |
| Chemical Changes | An irreversible change in which a new substance is created. |
| Chemical Properties | The characteristics of a substance that can only be observed when the identity of the substances changes. A trait or behavior of a substance that gives it the ability or inability to undergo a chemical change. |
| These are examples of what? Melting, Freezing, Boiling, Breaking, Dissolving, and Cutting | Physical Changes |
| These are examples of what? Burning, Cooking, Rotting, Rusting, Fermenting, and Digesting. | Chemical changes. |
| Color, Oder, Hardness, Luster, Phase of Matter, Mass, Size, Density, Boiling point, Melting point, and Conductivity are all examples of what? | Physical Properties |
| Luster | How light is reflected off the surface of an object. (How shiny something is) |
| Mass | The amount of matter in an object. |
| Density | How tightly packed the atoms of an object are. |
| Reactivity, Combustibility/Flammability, and Toxicity are all examples of what? | Chemical Properties. |
| Reactivity | How easily an atom has a reaction with another element. Depends on the Valence shells. |
| Combustibility/Flammability | The ability for a substance to burn. |
| Toxicity | The ability |
