Physical Properties/Matter

What is matter?

• anything that has mass and takes up space
• the way we describe
• the amount of gravity space

How can we classify matter?

• state, mass, volume, relative density, conductivity
• state, mass, volume, magnetism, relative density, conductivity of thermal energy and electricity, and solubility
• thermal energy, electrical energy, and solubility in water

Three are three states of matter.  What are the three main states of matter?

• solid, liquid, and ice
• gas, liquid, and kool-air
• solid, liquid, and gas

__________ has a definite shape and volume that do not change

___________ is the amount of space something takes up.  Often measured with a graduated cylinder in milliliters or liters.

• solubility
• volume
• mass

_________ is whether or not an object is attracted to a magnet
