Properties and Changes of Matter

Front

Can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance.

Back

Physical Property

Front

Temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.

Back

Melting Point

Front

Temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.

Back

Boiling Point

Front

The relationship between the mass of a material and its volume.

Back

Density

Front

By itself, this is not a significant identifier of a substance but can be observed.

Back

Color

Front

Can be observed when substances react (combine) with another substance; as a result, it becomes a new substance.

Back

Chemical Property

Front

Involves a substance reacting with oxygen quickly to produce light and heat (fire, burn).

Back

Flammability

Front

Involves a substance (iron) reacting slowly with oxygen.

Back
