CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Chemical Properties of Matter

Chemical Properties

• Can only be found by changing the matter's molecules (chemical) structure (makeup)

• The matter you start with will be changed into another kind of matter

Chemical Property: Reactivity

• Able to go through a chemical reaction with another type of matter

• Ability to combine chemically with another substance

Baking Soda + Vinegar

• No longer baking soda and vinegar once they react

Sodium + Water

• Sodium - silver metal, Water - colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid

• No longer sodium and water once they react

Oxidation

• Iron + Oxygen = Rust

• No longer iron and water

• Iron and rust have completely different properties

Oxidation

• Silver + Oxygen = Tarnish

• No longer silver and oxygen once they react

• Silver and tarnish have completely different properties

Oxidation

• Copper + Oxygen = Patina

• No longer copper and oxygen once they react

• Copper and patina have completely different properties
