Physical Intensive
The way a mineral reflects light from its surface
Luster
A measure of the amount of matter in an object
Mass
able or likely to shatter violently or burst apart, as when a bomb explodes.
Explosive
The change in state from a solid to a liquid
Melting
Difference between liquid and a solid.
Solids the particles have a fixed volume. Liquid the particles move freely and they take the shape of a container.
the ability of a substance to be drawn, pulled, or extruded through a small opening to produce a wire
Ductility
A measure of the force of gravity on an object
Weight
A characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances
chemical property
An example is water turning into ice
Freezing
gas to solid
An example would be water vapor to ice vapor.
Deposition
Does not depend on the amt. of the substance.
Intrinsic/intensive
properties that change based on the amount of substance present.
extrinsic (extensive) properties
Materials that react chemically with other materials
Oxidizer
the change from a liquid to a gas
Vaporization
any process that results in the formation of an ion
An example would be lighting
Ionization
The ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into sheets
malleability
the measurement or extent of something from end to end; the greater of two or the greatest of three dimensions of a body
length
the degree to which a substance is biologically harmful.
Toxicity
The change of state from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
the genetic process by which one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome during reproductive cell division
Recombination
The ability of an object to transfer heat or electricity to another object.
Conductivity
Ex) water in a cylinder
Volume
pH below 7
Acidic
A change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid
An example would be dry ice
Sublimation
Does gas have a fixed volume?
No
