Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

What is malleability?

• The ability of a substance to be deformed or shaped under pressure, often without breaking.

• The ability of a substance to conduct electricity.

• The ability of a substance to dissolve in water.

• The ability of a substance to resist deformation under stress.

What is a chemical property?

• A characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to undergo a specific chemical change, such as tarnishing or rusting.

• A physical trait of a substance that can be observed without changing its composition.

• A measure of how much a substance can dissolve in water.

• A property that indicates the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.

What is an element?

• A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.

• A mixture of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means.

• A compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements.

• A solution that contains a solute dissolved in a solvent.

What is density?

• The mass of a substance divided by its volume, often used to identify substances.

• The weight of an object regardless of its size.

• The total volume of a substance divided by its mass.

• The measure of how much space an object occupies.

What is magnetism?

• The ability of a substance to be attracted to or repelled by a magnet.

• A force that causes objects to float in the air.

• The process of generating electricity through motion.

• A type of energy that can be seen with the naked eye.

What is a mixture?

• A combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties and can be separated by physical means.

• A single substance that cannot be separated into its components.

• A chemical reaction between two or more substances.

• A solution where one substance completely dissolves in another.

What is a physical property?

• A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity, such as color, mass, and volume.

• A change that occurs when a substance transforms into a different substance.

• A property that describes how a substance reacts with other substances.

• A characteristic that can only be observed during a chemical reaction.

What is solubility?

• The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance, forming a solution.

• The measure of how much a substance can be compressed.

• The process of separating a mixture into its components.

• The ability of a substance to conduct electricity.

What are physical changes?

• Changes that affect one or more physical properties of a substance without altering its chemical composition, such as cutting, crushing, melting, and boiling.

• Changes that alter the chemical composition of a substance, such as rusting or burning.

• Changes that only affect the temperature of a substance without any other effects.

• Changes that involve the formation of new substances with different properties.

What is the state of matter?

• The distinct forms that different phases of matter take on, typically solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

• A measure of the amount of space an object occupies.

• The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.

• A type of energy that is stored in an object.
