  1. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES SIZE COLOR Characteristics How we describe matter. Change substances but not its identity. SHAPE

  2. SOLUBILITY Ability to dissolve a substance into another substance. Examples: Kool-Aid/Water, Tea/Water/Sugar, Sugar/Milk, Salt/Water Non-example: Sand & Water

  3. SOLUBILITY

  4. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY How well electricity flows through it. Examples: Metal – Copper & Tin Non-example: Wood, Rubber, Glass

  5. CONDUCTIVITY Voltage Meter Measures Electrical Conductivity Copper Wires

  6. MALLEABILITY (hammer) Ability to be pressed or pounded into thin sheets. Examples: Aluminum foil, Gold and Silver Non-example: Mercury, Rocks

  7. MALLEABILITY Top Picture: Sulfur is NOT Malleable it crumbles when it is hammered. Bottom Picture: Gold, like other metals IS Malleable. It can be hammered into thin sheets. Aluminum Foil Mercury is NOT Malleable It is the only liquid metal.

  8. LUSTER The state or quality of shining by reflecting light. Examples: Glitter, Sparkle, Sheen or Gloss Used often to describe rocks & minerals.

  9. LUSTER Gold Galena

  10. DENSITY Is expressed as g/cm3 for solids and g/mL for liquids. Density = Mass D= Volume

  11. DENSITY

  12. DUCTILITY Ability to be pulled into thin strands or wires. Examples: Copper, Aluminum and Iron Non-example: Playdoh

  13. DUCTILITY Copper Wire

  14. TEXTURE Describes not only the appearance and feel of the surface, but also its composition and arrangements of parts. Examples: Rough, Smooth, Grainy, Woven, Cooked, Sandy

  15. TEXTURE Sandpaper Woven Material Smooth Marble
