Chapter 2.1 Matter has observable properties
Properties – Characteristics that help us describe and identify matter. • All matter has both • Physical Properties • Chemical Properties
Physical Properties • Property that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. • Ex) color, texture, size, density, volume, melting point, boiling point, and magnetism
Density • Amount of matter in a given volume of substance; how compact a substance is. • Density = mass Volume
Physical Change • A change in physical characteristics without forming a new substance.
Chemical Properties • Are what enable matter to change, in the presence of other substances, into a new substance with different properties. • Ex.)the ability to burn, reactivity to acid and to water
Four Ways Scientists Know a Chemical Change has occurred: Color change Powdery solid settles out of a liquid Formation of Bubbles; Gas is produced Change in Temperature – giving off heat or light Production of an Odor
