What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, such as water.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, often used to determine if an object will float or sink in water.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber or glass.

Front

How can you determine if an object is less dense than water?

Back

If an object floats in water, it is less dense than water.

Front

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily, while an insulator resists the flow of electricity.

Front

What is an example of a magnetic material?

Back

Iron is an example of a magnetic material.

Front

What happens to the solubility of most solids as temperature increases?

Back

The solubility of most solids increases as the temperature of the solvent increases.

Front

What is the property of a material that allows it to be attracted to a magnet?

Back

The property is called magnetism.
