Transcript Ductility-the ability to be stretched into wires

Properties of Matter
Demo #1: Tearing Paper
 Does the paper change its chemistry (chemical
identity) and form a new substance with different
properties?
 Is the ability to be torn a physical or chemical
property?
Physical Property: Property that can be
tested/observed without changing chemical identity of
the substance; can be undone
 Is tearing a physical change or a chemical
change?
Demo #2: Burning Paper
 Does the paper change its chemistry (chemical
identity) and form a new substance with different
properties?
 Is the ability to burn a physical or chemical
property?
Chemical Property: A property that can only be
tested/observed by changing the chemical identity of a
substance; hard to undo
 Is burning a physical change or a chemical
change?

Brittleness-
The tendency of a solid to break or shatter (__.P)
Cohesion- The tendency of particles of the same substance to
attract one another (__.P)
Density- Mass per unit volume; the mass of a
known volume of matter; compactness (__.P)
Ductility- The ability to be stretched
into wire—this is a property of metals
(__.P)
Elasticity- The tendency of a solid substance to
return to its original form after being stretched (__.P)
Electrical Conductivity- The ability of
electricity to move through a material.
(__.P)
Hardness- Ability of solids to resist being
scratched . (__.P)
Luster- The “shininess” of a substance.
The ability of a substance to reflect light.
(__.P)
Magnetism- The ability to form a
magnetic field and attract other
metals (__.P)
Malleability- The ability to be pounded
into flat sheets—this is a property of metals
(__.P)
Mass- The amount of matter that
something is made of. (__.P)
Melting/Freezing point- Temperature at which a
solid turns to liquid AND Temperature at which a liquid
turns to solid (__.P)

Solubility- The ability to dissolve in another
substance—how well the substance dissolves.
(__.P)
State of Matter- The physical form in which a
substance exists, such as a solid, liquid, gas, or
plasma. (__.P)
Plasma
Surface Tension- Tendency of liquid
particles to stick together, forming a “skin” (__.P)
Tensile Strength- a measure of how far
something will stretch or bend before it cracks or
breaks (__.P)
Texture- The smoothness or roughness of a
substance (__.P)
Thermal Conductivity- The ability to
transfer thermal energy (heat) from one area to
another (__.P)
Viscosity- A liquid’s resistance to flow
(__.P)
Volume- The amount of space an object
occupies (__.P)
Ability to Burn (Flammability)- Ability of a
substance to support combustion (burn)
(__.P)
Ability to Rust- Ability of a metal (like iron)
to bond with oxygen (from air or water) to form
a new substance (__.P)
Ability to Corrode- Ability of a substance to
break down and form a new material when
reacting with its environment—water, acid, salt,
etc. (similar to rusting) (__.P.)
