Physical property

Chemical and Physical Properties/Changes

QuestionAnswer
Physical property A characteristic of matter that can be observed and measured without changing the identity or chemical makeup of the substance
Examples of physical properties Color, odor, size, hardness, luster, phase of matter, mass, density, boiling point, melting point, solubility, conductivity
color Physical property; can be observed by looking at it
odor Physical property; many substances have a noticeable odor
size Physical property; can be measured without altering the chemical makeup of the substance
mass Physical property; measures the amount of matter in an object
weight Physical property; measures the force of gravity on an object
density Physical property; how tightly packed the atoms in an object are; mass divided by volume
Boiling point Physical property; the point at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas
Melting point Physical property; the point at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid
solubility Physical property; the measure in which an object dissolves into another object
Electrical conductivity Physical property; the measure of a material’s ability to allow the transport of an electrical charge
Chemical property A trait or behavior of a substance that gives it the ability or inability to undergo a chemical change; can only be observed when the substance is going through a chemical change or reaction
Examples of chemical properties reactivity, combustibility (flammability), and toxicity
reactivity Chemical property; how easily an atom has a chemical reaction with another element
Combustibility and flammability Chemical property; the ability a substance has to burn
combustion Chemical property; a chemical reaction that produces heat and light
toxicity Chemical property; the ability and strength of a substance to cause poisonous effects to living things
Physical change Change that happens without changing the chemical composition of a substance; no new substance is formed; usually (but not always) reversible
Chemical change Occurs when a substance undergoes a change that creates a new substance with different chemical and physical properties than the original substance; change is not reversible

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
