Chemistry Properties and Structure of Matter: Properties of Matter - Physical Properties of Elements

This video tutorial covers the physical properties of metals, non-metals, and metalloids, as outlined in the HSE chemistry syllabus. It discusses properties such as state at SATP, melting and boiling points, color, lustre, density, magnetism, conductivity, hardness, and deformability. The video also highlights exceptions to these properties and provides guidance on classifying elements based on their physical characteristics. Sample exam questions are included to help students apply their knowledge.

What is the significance of electrical conductivity in classifying elements?

Describe the physical property of hardness and how it varies among different types of elements.

What does deformability refer to in the context of physical properties?

Discuss the exceptions to the general trends in physical properties of elements.
