Matter

Physical Properties

What is Matter?

• Anything that takes up space & has mass

• Matter can be identified based on properties​

Multiple Choice

All matter must have mass and volume.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Which is a measure of the amount of space matter takes up?

• mass

• volume

• density

• weight

Matter Has Properties-No Notes

• Physical Properties - Description or Characteristic of Matter Using Observations and Measurements

• Chemical Properties - Description of How Matter Interacts with Other Matter

Multiple Select

What are the two types of properties matter has?

• electronic

• physical

• tectonic

• chemical

Physical Properties: Two Kinds

• Observable:

  • Use Senses to Learn About Matter

• Measurable/Characteristic

  • Use Tools to Learn About Matter (More Scientific/Exact)

Multiple Choice

Which type of physical properties are learned from using just our five senses?

• observable

• measurable

Multiple Choice

Which type of physical properties are learned by using tools and are more scientific?

• observable

• measureable

Observable Properties of Matter

• See: Color, Size, Shape, State, Magnetic

• Feel: Hardness, Texture, Bendable

• Taste: Salty, Sweet, Spicy

• Hear: Loud, Quiet

• Smell: Odor

Measurable Properties of Matter

• Mass (Amount of Stuff)

• Weight (Pull of Gravity on Mass)

• Temperature (Amount of Heat)

• Length (Distance)

• Volume (Space Taken Up)

• Density (HowTightly Packed)

• Electric Conductivity

• Melting/Boiling Points​

​Physical Properties Not Used to Identify a Substance

• Size, volume, mass, length, and height

​

You could have the same piece of metal, but just different sizes. They are still the same though so we could not use any of these measurable properties to identify them.

​

• Describes how the substances may change when it transforms through a chemical reaction​ (reacts with another substance)

• Changes the identity of the original substance​

​Chemical Properties

Chemical changes can't be "undone", since the substance has changed into something new!

​Examples of Chemical Properties

• reactivity (reacting with other chemicals)

  • Signs of a chemical reaction to look for:

    • Release of heat or light

    • Color change

    • Formation of a gas

    • ​Formation of a precipitate (solid falling out of a liquid)

• pH (measuring how acidic or basic a solution is)

• flammability (how likely to burn)

  ​

Multiple Choice

You measure the DENSITY of a rock compared to water.

• physical property
