that make it a good choice
for use in chopsticks. It
has no noticeable odor or
taste. It is hard, yet easy to

4. Describing Matter
– Extensive Properties
– The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of
matter the object contains.
– The volume of an object is a measure of the space
occupied by the object.
– An extensive property is a property that depends on the
amount of matter in a sample.
5. Describing Matter
– Intensive Properties
• An intensive property is a
property that depends on the
type of matter in a sample, not
the amount of matter. The
hardness of a bowling ball is
an example of an intensive
property.
7. Identifying Substances
• Matter that has a uniform and definite composition
is called a substance. These kettles are mainly
copper. Copper is an example of a substance.
9. Identifying Substances
• Every sample of a given substance has identical
intensive properties because every sample has the
same composition.
10. Identifying Substances
• A physical property is a quality or condition of a
substance that can be observed or measured without
changing the substance’s composition.
• Hardness, color, conductivity, and malleability are
examples of physical properties.
20. Physical Changes
• During a physical
change, some properties
of a material change, but
the composition of the
material does not change.
• As gallium melts in a
person’s hand, the shape
of the sample changes, but
the composition of the
material does not change.
21. Physical Changes
•Physical changes can be classified as reversible or
irreversible.
• All physical changes that involve a change from
one state to another are reversible.
• Cutting hair, filing nails, and cracking an egg are
examples of irreversible physical changes.

49. Distinguishing Elements and
Compounds
–Properties of Compounds
–In general, the properties of compounds are quite
different from those of their component elements.
–When the elements sodium and chlorine combine
chemically to form sodium chloride, there is a change in
composition and a change in properties.
51. Distinguishing Elements and
Compounds
• Sodium is stored
under oil to keep
it from reacting
with oxygen or
water vapor in the
air. Sodium vapor
produces the light
in some street
lamps.
54. Distinguishing Substances and
Mixtures
– If the composition of a material is fixed, the
material is a substance. If the composition of a
material may vary, the material is a mixture.
