Chemistry Flashcard: Physical and Chemical Properties

Front

What are the physical properties of matter? Options: Velocity, acceleration, force, energy, Taste, sound, weight, volume, Transparency, flexibility, hardness, shape, Color, odor, density, melting point, boiling point, and conductivity

Back

Color, odor, density, melting point, boiling point, and conductivity

Front

Explain the difference between intensive and extensive physical properties of matter.

Back

Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of substance, while extensive properties do depend on the amount of substance.

Front

What are the chemical properties of matter?

Back

Ability to undergo chemical reactions and form new substances

Front

How do chemical properties of matter differ from physical properties?

Back

Chemical properties involve the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical change, while physical properties involve characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's composition.

Front

Give an example of a change in physical properties of matter. Options: Water freezing, Salt dissolving in water, Wood burning, Iron rusting

Back

Water freezing

Front

Describe how the melting of ice is a change in physical properties.

Back

It changes from a solid state to a liquid state without changing its chemical composition.

Front

Examples of changes in chemical properties of matter?

Back

Combustion, oxidation, and decomposition

Front

Explain how the rusting of iron is a change in chemical properties.

Back

The rusting of iron is a change in chemical properties because it involves a chemical reaction that results in the formation of a new substance (iron oxide) with different properties.

Front

What are elements, compounds, mixtures, and pure substances?

Back

Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. Compounds are substances made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together. Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded. Pure substances are either elements or compounds.

Front

Differentiate between an element and a compound.

Back

An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
