What is a physical property? • A physical property of matter can be observed or measured without changing the matter’s identity.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES YOU NEED TO KNOW • Density • Boiling Point • Melting Point • Freezing Point • Solubility • Specific Heat • Magnetism • Electrical Conductivity • Thermal Conductivity • Malleability • Ductility • State • Shape
What is density? • Density is the ratio between the mass and volume of a substance. • It tells the size of the atoms and how close the atoms are to each other in a substance.
How do you solve for density? D= m/v Density can be used to identify substances Each substance has a unique density
AIR SUBSTANCE A Density SUBSTANCE B
More about density • The density of a substance is the same everywhere in the universe.
Boiling Point is the temperature when a liquid changes to a gas. Melting Pointis the temperature when a solid changes to a liquid. Freezing Pointis the temperature when a liquid changes to a solid
EVERY SUBSTANCE HAS A UNIQUE MELTING, FREEZING AND BOILING POINT!
What is solubility? • Solubility The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance. Different amounts of substances may dissolve in the same amount of water.
Sodium chloride Sodium bromide 100 g of water Sodium iodide
Starch-based packing peanuts are soluble in water, but plastic foam peanuts are not, as shown in the images below.
Let’s try to solve this scientific question? How much sugar can dissolve in 10 mL of water? (write this question down on another sheet of paper)
What is specific heat? • Specific Heat is the amount of ENERGY needed to change the temperature of a substance 1 degree. • The higher the specific heat of something is, the more ENERGY it takes to increase its temperature.
METAL = 500 CLOTH = 1340
What is magnetism? • Magnetism the property of some materials to attract iron or something that has iron in it.
What is electrical conductivity? Electrical Conductivity the ability to allow charges (electricity) to move through a material.
REMEMBER: Metals are usually good conductors
What is thermal conductivity? Thermal Conductivity the ability to allow heat to transfer through a substance
What is malleability? • Malleability the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets. • REMEMBER: Most metals are malleable
What is ductility? • Ductility is the ability of a substance to be pulled into a wire.
What are the three states of matter? • SOLID • LIQUID • GAS
What is shape? • Shape is the form something takes
