What Is Matter?: Properties of Matter

The video tutorial explains that matter is composed of tiny particles in constant motion. It discusses the properties of matter, dividing them into physical and chemical properties. Physical properties include characteristics like color, shape, texture, size, luster, and conductivity, which can be observed without changing the substance. Chemical properties describe how a substance can change into a new substance, such as iron rusting or wood burning. The video aims to help viewers understand and measure these properties.
