Physical
Property
Definition

Is any property that is

measurable, whose
value describes a state
of a physical system

How does this apply in a Lab

During experiments it
helps a researcher
define substances

Examples

Visosity

Hardness
Viscosity
Book Definition
The state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to internal friction

In Own Words
The type of consistency that a fluid has

Examples
Conductivity
Book Definition
The degree to which a specified material conducts
electricity

In Own Words
Whether or how well a specific substance conducts
electricity

Examples
Metals have a high degree of conductivity and fabrics
have a low degree
Malleability
Book Definition
The quality of something that can be shaped into
something else without breaking

In Own Words
The ability to bend something without it breaking

Examples
Copper wire and aluminum foil are very malleable
Hardness
Book Definition
The quality or condition of being
hard

In Own Words
The level of strength (hardness)
that a substance has

Examples
Wit rocks Talc has the lowest
hardness
Melting and Boiling Points
Book Definition
The temperature at which a solid substance
turns liquid, and a liquid turns to gas

In Own Words
A temperature that dictates whether a
substance turns into a liquid (melting) or gas
(boiling)

Examples
Waters Melting point

32F (0C)
Density
Book Definition
The degree of compactness of a substance

In Own Words
How solid a substance is

Examples
Wood has a low density, because it floats
 Filtration and Distillation
Filtration Distillation
Book Definition Book Definition

The separation of solids from The use of heat to separate

substances that are part of
a liquid by allowing the liquid
liquids or gases
to pass through a filter
In Own Words
In Own Words
Separating a substance with
Separating the solids that are heat
in liquids with some type of
mesh Examples

Examples Boiling with a filter to make

freshwater out of saltwater
Chemical
Property
Definition

A property or
characteristic of a
substance that is
observed in a reaction

How does this apply in a Lab

During experiments it
helps a researcher
define substances

Examples

Reactivity

Flammability
Flammability
Book Definition
The ability of a substance to burn or ignite, in the presence of oxygen (or combustion)

In Own Words
Whether a material can fuel or spark a fire

Examples
Wood is very flammable, but cooking oils and water are not
Reactivity
Book Definition
The property that describes how
readily a substance combines
chemically with another

In Own Words
Something that describes how a
material acted when it came into
contact with a different substance

Examples
When iron and steel come into
contact with oxygen and water
