Physical Properties

Rubber is used in electrical wiring because it does not allow electricity to travel through it.

This is an example of the physical property

• thermal conductivity

• electrical conductivity

• solubility

Heat can easily travel through metal, which is why it is often used to make pots & pans.

This describes the physical property of

• thermal conductivity

• electrical conductivity

• malleability

• luster

Physical property of matter that describes if it is a solid, liquid or gas

• mass

• volume

• density

• phase or state of matter

Physical property that describes the amount of matter or 'stuff' in something

• mass

• volume

• density

• phase or state of matter

Physical property of matter that COMPARES mass to volume.

• mass

• volume

• density

• state or phase of matter

Physical property of matter that describes the amount of space matter takes up

• mass

• volume

• density

• phase or state of matter

Physical property of matter that describes its ability to dissolve

• melting point

• boiling point

• magnetic attraction

• solubility

Physical property of matter that describes when it changes from a solid to a liquid.

• melting point

• boiling point

• magnetic attraction

• solubility

Physical property of matter that describes when it changes from a liquid to a gas.

• melting point
