This document discusses the physical and chemical properties of matter. It defines matter as anything that has mass and takes up space. Physical properties can be observed without changing the material and include characteristics like color, hardness, and melting point. Chemical properties involve a change in the material's composition through reactions with other substances, such as rusting or burning. Some examples provided assess whether various phenomena are physical or chemical properties.

• Has mass
• Takes up space (volume)
• Pretty much everything we know,
except energy & ideas

7. Change in State…
• No change in composition!
• Physical Property!

8. Chemical Properties
• Matter is usually permanently altered when
making the observation.
• Reacts with other matter
• Examples: Rusting, burning, corrosion

9. Physical or Chemical?
• Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
• Diamonds are capable of cutting glass.
• Water can be separated by electrolysis into
hydrogen and oxygen.
• Sugar is capable of dissolving in water.
• Vinegar will react with baking soda.
• Wood is flammable.
• Aluminum has a low density.
• Ammonia is a gas at room temperature.
• Bromine has a red color.
