Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
Study Guide
Physical

Properties can be observed
o Examples include: Color, conductivity, state of matter, ductility,
malleability, solubility

Changes will not result in a new substance
Chemical

Properties include flammability and reactivity

Changes create something new
Terms
Flammability – ability to burn
Reactivity- ability to combine with something to make a new substance
Conductivity- how well something transfers heat or energy
Solubility – the ability to dissolve
Malleability- the ability to be hammered into sheets
Ductility – the ability to be pulled into wires
Density – the relationship between mass and volume
