1. Matter Physical and Chemical Properties

2. Describing Matter Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space

3. Physical Properties of Matter Definition: A characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance. Ex: Water freezing and turning into ice

4. We use physical properties to classify matter. A change in a physical property will not change it into a different substance.

5. Physical Properties Luster Freezing and boiling point Conduction ability Flexibility Texture Color Density

6. Chemical Properties of Matter Definition: A characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances. Ex: Iron + oxygen = rust

7. We can also use chemical properties to classify matter. A change in chemical properties will result in a different substance.

8. Chemical Properties Flammability Ability to React
