properties of matter

1. Properties of Matter

2. Chemical Properties
• Characteristics that are
observed ONLY when a
substance changes into a
different substance

3. Chemical Properties
• Types of Chemical
Properties:
• Combustible/flammable:
• able to burn
• Examples & Facts:
• all chemicals come with a
label that identifies their level
of flammability

4. Chemical Properties

Properties:
• Combustible/flammable:
• able to burn

• Examples & Facts:
• oxygen & hydrogen are very
flammable gases
• carbon dioxide is not a very
flammable gas

• Stop at 35 seconds

6. Chemical Properties
• Types of Chemical Properties:
• Reactivity:
• how easily a substance reacts
with another substance

− 1:10 min Alkali metals reaction to water
• Examples & Facts:
• many chemicals react with
water or oxygen
• all chemicals come with a
label that identifies their level
of reactivity

7. Chemical Properties
• Types of Chemical
Properties:
• Reactivity:
• how easily a substance
reacts with another
substance
• Examples & Facts:
• corrosion: slow reaction
& wearing away of metals
(rusting, tarnishing)

8. Examples of Chemical
Changes

9. Physical Properties
• Characteristics that can be
observed without changing the
substance into something else

10. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• color
• texture
• odor
• taste
• hardness
• magnetic
• boiling, melting, & freezing points

11. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical
Properties:
• Luster:
• shininess or dullness
• Examples & Facts:
• most metals are shiny
• diamonds have a lot of
luster
• many minerals are dull

12. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• Brittleness:
• how easily a substance breaks into
pieces
• Examples & Facts:
• very brittle substances
may crumble or break
with very little force

13. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• Brittleness:
• how easily a substance breaks into
pieces
• Examples & Facts:
• many rocks & minerals
are brittle
• chalk is brittle because
it crumbles easily

14. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical
Properties:
• Malleable:
• can be pounded into shapes
• Examples & Facts:
• aluminum is very malleable
• clay is also malleable
• substances that are malleable
are usually not very brittle

16. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• Ductile:
• can be pulled out into a long wire
• Examples & Facts:
• substances may be both malleable
& ductile
• copper is very malleable &
ductile
• substances that are ductile
are usually not very brittle

17. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• Conductive:
• can transmit heat and/or electricity
• Examples & Facts:
• a substance may conduct
heat, electricity, neither, or both
• most metals are good
conductors

18. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical Properties:
• Conductive:
• can transmit heat and/or
electricity
• Examples & Facts:
• pots & pans are made out of metals
that are good heat conductors

19. Physical Properties
• Types of Physical
Properties:
• Soluble:
• can be dissolved in a liquid
• Examples & Facts:
• substances that are “water-
soluble” will dissolve in water
• salt & sugar are soluble in
water
• substances that don’t dissolve
are “insoluble”

21. Models are
representations of
objects or systems.
Models can be used for:
• Understanding something
• Predicting
• Picturing things in your mind
• Explain scientific theories

22. Physical Models
• look like the object they model.

23. Mathematical models
• Made up of mathematical
equations and data

24. Conceptual models
• Systems of ideas.

25. Limitation of Models
• They don’t act exactly like the
things they model or they may
not look like the things they
represent. Scale might be
incorrect.
• What is wrong with this model?
