Physical Properties

Physical properties are used to observe or describe characteristics of matter.

Physical Properties

Physical Properties

• How does it look? … Red? Blue? Shiny? Reflective? Dull?• What is it made of? … wood? Glass? • How does it feel? … Pointy? Soft?

Fuzzy?• How does it smell? … Sweet? Rotten?

Minty?

Physical Properties

Physical properties DO NOT change the structure of the matter when it is observed or described.

Structure refers to how the atoms are put together.

Physical Properties

Properties that can be observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the matter:• color• size• shape• smell• mass

• volume• density• solubility• boiling point• melting point• freezing point

our standard will focus

on these physical

properties

Physical Properties:

Volume

Physical Properties: Volume

Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up.

Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up.

All matter has mass and volume!

Physical Properties: Volume

Physical Properties:

Density

Physical Properties: Density

If you pick up a baseball and a tennis ball, which one would feel heavier?

Even though they are both of similar size, the baseball will feel heavier because it is denser.

Density is how we measure how much matter is in a given amount of space.

But what

does this

really

mean? How packed together the matter is in an object

Physical Properties: Density

Density is the relationship between the mass of a substance and the volume of the substance.

Physical Properties: Density

Less dense

More dense

Same size box, different amount of matter

Which is more dense?

Physical Properties: Density

More dense

Less dense

Same amount of matter, different size box

Which is more dense?

Physical Properties: Density

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

If a block of substance A has a mass of 54 kg and a volume of 9 feet

3

… then what is its density?

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

If a block of substance A has a mass of 200 kg and a volume of 50 feet

3

… then what is its density?

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

If a block of substance B has a mass of 700 kg and a volume of 14 feet

3

… then what is its density?

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

I have 3 blocks that are equal in size, but are made of different substances.

Block A has a mass of 280kg and a volume of 10m3

Block B has a mass of 500kg and a volume of 30m3

Block A has a mass of 100kg and a volume of 4m3

Which Block has the greatest Mass? Volume? Density?

Physical Properties:

Solubility

Solubility means the amount of a substance that can be dissolved in another substance.

How much sugar can dissolve in water?

solute solvent(water is the most common solvent)

*Temperature affects solubility

Physical Properties: Solubility

Physical Properties: Solubility

Solvent: the part of a solution that does the dissolving

Solute: the part of a solution that gets dissolved________

Physical Properties: Solubility

Physical Properties: Solubility

Solution: a homogenous combination of two or more substances

Hot Cocoa is a solution

Tomato Soup is a solution

Kool-Aid is a solution

A Solution is a mixture of 2 or more substances, where one substance dissolves in the other, and cannot be physically separated.

Physical Properties: Solubility

Mixture: a heterogeneous combination of two or more substances that keep their properties

Theses are examples of MIXTURES

Chicken Noodle Soup is a Mixture

A Mixture is a combination of 2 or more substances that are not

chemically united.Mixtures can be separated into

different, pure particles.

Physical Properties:

Boiling Point

Physical Properties

Boiling Point – the temperature at which a substance turns from a liquid to a gas

Physical Properties

Boiling PointWhen a liquid becomes a gas it is called boiling or vaporization. At a certain temperature called the boiling point, the molecules will gain enough energy to break free and become a gas.

The boiling point for water is 100 degrees C (212 degrees F).

Physical Properties:

Melting Point

Physical Properties

Melting Point – the temperature at which a substance turns from a solid into a liquid

Physical Properties

Melting PointWhen a solid turns into a liquid it is called melting. There is a temperature at which this happens called the melting point. As the energy in the molecules increases from a rise in temperature, the molecules start moving faster. Soon they have enough energy to break free of their rigid structure and start moving around more easily. The matter becomes a liquid.

The melting point for water is 0 degrees C (32 degrees F).

Physical Properties:

Freezing Point

Physical Properties

Freezing Point – the temperature at which a substance turns from a liquid to a solid

Physical Properties

Freezing PointWhen a liquid turns into a solid it is called freezing. There is a temperature at which this happens called the freezing point. As the energy in the molecules decreases from a fall in temperature, the molecules start moving slower. Soon they don’t have enough energy to move easily and they are confined to a rigid structure. The matter becomes a solid.

The freezing point for water is 0 degrees C (32 degrees F).

Physical Properties

The temperature of a substances freezing point and the temperature of a substances melting point are the same temperature!

What are the chemical properties of matter?

Chemical Properties

Chemical Properties

Chemical properties tell you the types of changes the matter can undergo.

• Flammability (Does it burn?)• Oxidation (Does Oxygen change it?)• Toxicity (Is it poisonous?)• Sensitivity to Light• Reactivity with water

Chemical Properties

Chemical properties describe a change in structure.

The substance is forever changed, it can not be changed back.

Chemical Properties: Flammability

Flammability: The ability to catch fire!

Chemical Properties: Oxidation

Oxidation: The ability to react with oxygen

Chemical Properties: Toxicity

Toxicity: the ability to be poisonous

Chemical Properties: Sensitivity to Light

Sensitivity to Light: the ability to change when exposed to light

Chemical Properties: Reactivity to Water

Reactivity to water: the ability to change when exposed to water

– Some elements react explosively with water!

What types of changes can matter undergo?

Matter can change phases permanently or temporarily.

• Temporary changes are called PHYSICAL changes.

• Permanent changes are called CHEMICAL changes.
