What are physical properties?

Back

Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its identity. Examples include mass, color, texture, state of matter, and solubility.

What is the state of matter?

Back

The state of matter refers to the physical form in which a substance exists, which can be solid, liquid, or gas.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in liters or cubic centimeters.

Front

What is liquid volume?

Back

Liquid volume is the measure of the space that a liquid occupies, often measured using tools like graduated cylinders.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, forming a solution. For example, sugar dissolving in water.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). It indicates how compact the matter is.

Front

What is conductivity?

Back

Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electricity or heat. Metals are typically good conductors.

Front

What is malleability?

Back

Malleability is the ability of a substance to be deformed or shaped, often by hammering or rolling, without breaking.

Front

What is ductility?

Back

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire without breaking.
