Physical Properties Characteristics that distinguish one type of matter from another and can be observed as long as the identity of the matter being observed is not changed.
Specific Physical Properties Descriptive characteristics of matter, that are different for each type of matter, which can be used to distinguish one kind of matter from another kind of matter. Such as: Temperature Sound Taste Viscosity Metallic / Nonmetallic Luster Ductility Malleability Conductivity Compressibility Radioactivity Organic Inorganic Color Odor Size Shape Texture Hardness Magnetic Phase of Matter Solubility Elasticity Motion
