PROPERTIES OF MATTER
• Chemical
• Physical
Physical properties
Observed without converting to another substanceIntensive – characteristic of the substanceExtensive – depends on amount of substance present(mass and volume most important!)
Change of state – physical change – no change in Composition –
ice � liquid water � water vapor – still H2O
Other examples: hardness, mp bp, solubility, density, viscosity, color, taste, Smell (senses) –intensive

Chemical properties describe how it can
change into other substances
• In a chemical change – atoms rearrange to
form new substances with new chem/phy
properties
• What does it react with
– O2, acids, bases, oxidizers, reducers
• Does it rust, tarnish or combust?
