Physical Properties

Front

What is a solid?

Back

A solid is a state of matter where particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place, maintaining a fixed shape and volume.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, which depends on its mass and the gravitational pull.

Front

Can the parts of a compound be separated by physical properties?

Back

No, the parts of a compound cannot be separated by physical properties; they require chemical reactions to break down.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of one substance to dissolve in another, forming a solution.

Front

What is a physical property?

Back

A physical property is a characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing its identity.

Front

What happens to the particles of a liquid?

Back

The particles of a liquid move more freely than those in a solid, allowing liquids to take the shape of their container while maintaining a fixed volume.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is an example of a physical property?

Back

Examples of physical properties include color, density, melting point, and boiling point.

Front

What is the boiling point of water?

Back

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
