Properties of Matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the property of fluids that causes friction. It's the material resistance to flow | viscosity |
| how much mass is in a given volume of a material | density |
| a measure of the upward force a fluid exerts on an object that is submerged | buoyancy |
| measures a solid's resistance to scratching | hardness |
| describes a solid's ability to be stretched and then return to its original size | elasticity |
| defined as the tendency of a solid to crack or break before stretching very much | brittleness |
| a measure of how much stress a material can withstand before standing | tensile strength |
| measures a solid's ability to be pounded into thin sheets | malleability |
| material can be bent a relatively large amount without breaking | ductility |
| matter with the ability to flow (applies to gasses too) | fluid |
| Which properties of matter apply only to solids? | Tensile, hardness, elasticity, brittleness, ductile, malleability |
| Which properties of matter apply to only fluids? | Viscosity and buoyancy |
| Which property applies to all three states of matter? | Density |
