Physical Properties of Matter

Physical Properties of Matter

TEKS 5.5A, 5.4

Physical Property

A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the particles that make up a type of matter.

Physical Change

A change to an object's physical properties that does not create a new substance.

Matter

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

Mass

A measurement of how
much matter makes up
an object.

Magnetism

A force that can attract or repel objects
that have magnetic materials.

Density

How close together the particles of a substance are.

Solubility

A physical property that describes a material's ability to dissolve into another material.

Thermal Energy

(Also known as heat energy)
Is produced when a rise in
temperature causes atoms
and molecules to move
faster and collide with
each other.

Electrical Energy

Is energy that's stored in charged
particles within an electric field.

Conductor

Substances that an electric charge
can pass through without difficulty.

Insulator

Materials that do not allow electricity to
pass through.

Volume

The amount of space an object takes up.
