General
Refers to the characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured on all types of matter
What is general properties?
This property measures the force exerted by gravity on an object, often measured in newtons.
What is weight?
This refers to a substance's ability to undergo a chemical change.
What is reactivity?
These physical properties refer to the sensory characteristics like taste, smell, sight, and texture.
What are organoleptic properties?
This chemical property describes the ability of a substance to maintain its chemical structure and resist change over time.
What is stability?
This is the amount of matter in an object, often measured in grams or kilograms
This physical property refers to the force per unit area applied to a surface
What is pressure?
This chemical property describes the ability of a substance to catch fire and burn.
What is flammability?
This property refers to a material's ability to conduct an electric current.
What is electrical conductivity?
This is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen, often producing light and heat.
What is combustion?
This refers to the amount of space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.
What is volume?
The temperature at which a liquid turns into gas is known as this.
What is the boiling point?
This property is related to the emission of particles or energy from unstable atomic nuclei.
What is radioactivity?
The ability of a substance to transfer heat is an example of this property.
What is thermal conductivity?
The tendency of a substance to rust or corrode when exposed to moisture and oxygen is an example of this.
What is oxidation?
This general property describes the degree to which a material can absorb or allow fluids to pass through it or the size of the inner space between its particles.
What is porosity?
This is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.
What is the melting point?
The ability of a substance to donate hydrogen ions in a solution, affecting the pH, is called this.
What is acidity?
This property refers to how resistant a material is to scratching or indentation.
This property refers to the characteristic of a material that cannot be penetrated by other substances.
What is impenetrability?
The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance is called this.
What is solubility?
This refers to the degree to which a substance can cause harm to living organisms.
What is toxicity?
The ability of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched is called this.
What is elasticity?
