| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it mean when you ask about the physical properties of an object? | A physical property of matter can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter. |
| Is color a physical property? | Yes. You can observe an object's color. The apple is red. |
| Is odor a physical property? | Yes. You can observe that sulphur smells like rotten eggs. |
| What is thermal conductivity? | Thermal conductivity is the ability to transfer thermal energy from oen area to another. |

| What does it mean to say something is ductile? | Ductility is the ability to be drawn or pulled into a wire. |
| What does solubility mean? | Solubility is the ability to dissolve in another substance. |
| What is the mathmatical formula for calculating density? | D=m/v or Density=mass/volume. |
| What does the density of an object describe? | The density is the amount of matter in a given space regardless of size. For example, the density of helium in a an airship at 20o C and normal atmospheric pressure is the same as the density of helium in a small balloon at the same pressure and temp. |
