Physical property
a property of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter.
Malleable
the ability to be pounded into sheets.
Ductility
the ability to be drawn or pulled into wire.
Solubility
the ability to dissolve in another substance.
Thermal Conductivity
the ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another.
Chemical property
a property of matter that describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties
Flammability
the ability to burn.
Reactivity
when 2 substances get together something can happen.
Nonflammable
inability to burn.
Density
amount of matter in a given space. Mass per unit volume.
Physical change
a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance; many physical changes are easy to undo.
Chemical change
a change that occurs when one or more substance are changed into entirely new substances with different properties; cannot be reversed using physical means.
Matter
anything that has volume and mass.
Mass
the amount of matter that something is made of.
Volume
the amount of space that something occupies or the amount
of space that something contains.
Meniscus
the curve at a liquid’s surface by which you measure the
volume of the liquid.
Gravity
the force of attraction between objects that is due to their
masses.
Weight
a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object,
usually by the Earth.
Newton
the SI unit of force.
Inertia
the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion.
Change of State
the conversion of a substance from one physical form to
another
Melting
the change of state from a solid to a liquid.
Freezing
the change of state from a liquid to a solid.
Vaporization
the change of state from a liquid to a gas; includes boiling and
evaporation.
Boiling
vaporization that occurs throughout a liquid.
Evaporation
vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below its
boiling point.
Condensation
the change of state from a gas to a liquid.
Sublimation
the change of state from a solid directly to a gas.
States of matter
the physical forms in which a substance can exist.
(ex. Solid, liquid, gas, plasma)
Solid
the state in which matter has a definite shape and volume
Liquid
the state in which matter takes the shape of its container and has a
definite volume.
Gas
the state in which matter changes in both shape and volume.
Pressure
the amount of force exerted on a given area.
Plasma
the state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume
and whose particles have broken apart. (ex. Lightening, stars, auroras)
Viscosity
a liquid’s resistance to flow.
Boyle’s Law
states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant
temperature, the volume of a gas increases as its pressure decreases.
Charles’s Law
states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant
