Size-Dependent Properties
A unit that measures volume.
mL (milliliter) or cm3 (centimeters cubed)?
What is an example of size-independent properties?
hardness, color, luster, conductivity, solubility, viscosity
a characteristic of matter that you can observe or measure without changing the identity of matter.
Physical Properties
Why is a bowling ball heavier than a soccer ball?
Is has more mass
The temperature at which an object turns from solid to liquid.
melting point
This depends on the size and amount of matter.
volume and mass and density
How shiny a substance is.
luster
the mass per unit volume of a substance.
Density
What tool is used to measure mass?
balance or scale
the temperature at which a substance changes to a liquid to a gas.
boiling point
the ability of one substance to dissolve in another.
Solubility
What is the amount of space something takes up?
volume
sugar or salt
How is density of an object calculated?
Dividing the mass by the volume.
