Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
● General properties of matter:
○ mass
○ weight
○ volume
○ density
○ specific gravity
Matter
10
Mass
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
The more matter is present in an object means the
greater its mass.
It is usually expressed in grams (g) or kilograms (kg)
General Properties of Matter
11
General Properties of Matter
Mass
Materials that are compact
have relatively greater mass
than those with a hollow
interior.
Which one has more mass
between a block of wood and
a ball?
12
Weight
It is the measure of force that acts on an object.
It is expressed as the amount of matter (mass) multiplied
by the gravitational force that acts on it.
○ The greater the gravitational force that acts on an
object, the “heavier” it weighs.
It is expressed in newtons (N).
General Properties of Matter
13
Mass vs. Weight
A comparison of astronaut’s mass and weight on earth and
on the moon
“Mass and weight are
often interchangeable,
but these are two
different quantities.”
14
General Properties of Matter
Volume
It is the amount of space occupied by matter
It can be measured using instruments with graduations
or by getting the dimensions of the object.
It is expressed in liters (L) for liquids, or cubic length (l3
)
for solids.
15
General Properties of Matter
Pouring a liquid in a graduated cylinder can measure its volume (left) while
measuring and multiplying the dimensions of a cube will determine its volume (right).
Volume
16
General Properties of Matter
Density
It is the ratio between mass and volume.
It is expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3
) or
grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3
).
It tells how compact an object is.
○ An object with greater mass has more compact
particles than the lighter ones.
17
General Properties of Matter
Specific Gravity
It is the ratio of a substance’s density to a standard
substance.
It is also known as relative density.
It is a dimensionless quantity.
18
General Properties of Matter
Specific Gravity
Water at 4 o
C, which is at its densest, is commonly used as
a standard for comparison of liquids and solids.
Air at room temperature (20 o
C) is the usual standard for
comparison of gases.
19
How can you distinguish
physical from chemical
properties of matter?
20
Physical Properties
Physical Properties
These are qualities that are readily observable or
measurable without changing the matter’s composition.
General properties such as mass, volume, weight,
density, and specific gravity are all examples of physical
properties.
These are often used to describe or observe matter.
21
Physical Properties
Can you give other examples of physical properties?
22
Physical Properties
● melting point
● boiling point
● freezing point
● solubility
● metallic properties
● size
● texture
● shape
● color
23
Physical Properties
Melting Point
It is the temperature at
which a solid matter
changes to liquid.
It varies according to its
composition of materials.
An ice cream melting
24
Physical Properties
Freezing Point
It is the temperature at
which a liquid turns into a
solid matter.
Water freezing into a snowflake
25
Physical Properties
Boiling Point
It is the temperature at
which liquid evaporates
The vapor pressure is equal
to the pressure of its
surrounding liquid at this
temperature.
The formation of bubbles in a heated
liquid indicates that it is starting to boil.
26
Physical Properties
Solubility
It is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a
given solvent.
It varies depending on its composition.
It is considered as a physical property as
one can tell whether a material is soluble
or not by merely observing its physical
appearance.
A spoonful of sugar
is soluble in water.
27
Physical Properties
Metallic Properties
These are qualities that are observed specifically in
metals.
○ conductivity
○ malleability
○ ductility
28
Physical Properties
Conductivity
It is the ability of a
material to allow heat or
electric charges to pass
through easily.
Materials can be
thermal or electrical
conductors.

29
Physical Properties
Malleability
It is the ability of a material to be
flattened into thin sheets.
Ductility
It is the ability of a material to be
easily drawn into wires. gold ring
30
How can physical properties of
matter distinguish one
substance from another?
Remember
31
Qualities that are readily observable
or measurable without changing the
matter’s composition are known as
physical properties.
32
Chemical Properties
● These are the characteristics that can only be seen
when the chemical identity of a material is altered.
● These become evident when a material undergoes a
chemical change.
● These highly depend on its composition.
● Some examples are biodegradability, combustibility,
flammability, and reactivity.
33
Chemical Properties
Biodegradability
It is the capacity of a material to decompose through the
actions of microorganisms.
It is observed when a material undergoes
decomposition.
○ Organic materials or carbon-based materials have
a higher biodegradability compared to the
synthetic ones.
34
Biodegradability
Approximate time for common materials to decompose in marine and
terrestrial environments
Materials
Time to Decompose
Marine Environment Terrestrial Environment
paper towel 2 to 4 weeks 1 to 2 weeks
apple core 2 months 4 to 6 weeks
tin cans 50 to 100 years
aluminum cans 200 years 80 to 100 years
plastic bags 500 years to forever
35
Chemical Properties
Combustion
It is a chemical reaction
between a substance (fuel) and
oxygen which results in the
generation of heat and light in
the form of flame.
A tip of matchstick burning
36
Chemical Properties
Combustibility
It is the ability of a material to combust or burn.
Flammability
It is the ability of a combustible material to catch flame
easily.
37
Chemical Properties
Combustibility and Flammability
It is the main difference between the two properties:
ease and rate of how an object burns.
Not all combustible materials are flammable.
○ A block of wood may only burn when exposed to a
specific amount of heat and oxygen, but putting a
flame near it will not necessarily make it burn
instantly.
38
Combustibility and Flammability
burning wood
“Not all combustible
materials are
flammable.”
39
Chemical Properties
Reactivity
It is the tendency of a substance to
undergo a chemical reaction.
It depends on the chemical structure
and composition of the substance.
○ fluorine: most reactive element
○ noble gases: no to little
reactivity
Platinum is one of the
least reactive metals.
40
How can chemical properties of
matter distinguish one
substance from another?
Remember
41
The characteristics that can only be
seen when the chemical identity of a
material is altered are known as
chemical properties.
42
Physical Properties of Matter
● These may be further classified as intensive or
extensive.
● These are based on whether a physical property
depends on the amount of matter or not.
43
How will you differentiate
intensive from extensive
properties of matter?
44
Intensive Properties
These properties do not depend
on the amount of matter.
Examples:
○ color
○ density
○ boiling point
○ melting/freezing point
Sugar remains white regardless
of its amount or size.
45
Extensive Properties
These properties depend on
the amount of matter.
Examples:
○ mass
○ volume
Powdered sugar takes up more
space than sugar cubes.
Remember
46
Physical properties of matter may be
categorized as intensive or extensive
based on its dependence on the
amount of matter.

Understanding

Tell whether the statement is true or false.
1. General properties of matter are characteristics that
are specific to a certain kind of material.
2. Chemical properties may only be observed when a
material undergoes a chemical change.
3. Combustibility is a property that is readily observable
even without changing the chemical identity of the
material being observed.
Let’s Sum It Up!
48
● The characteristics of matter that are present to
all kinds of matter are known as general
properties of matter.
● Qualities that are readily observable or
measurable without changing the matter’s
composition are known as physical properties.

and volume. If mass and volume are
both extensive physical properties of
matter, how come density is an
intensive property of matter?
