Physical Properties 2. 2
Physical Properties �A physical property is any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material. �Viscosity, conductivity, malleability, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and density are examples of physical properties.
Viscosity �The tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing is called its viscosity. �The greater the viscosity, the slower the liquid moves. �The viscosity of a liquid usually decreases when it is heated (gets runny).
Conductivity �A material’s ability to allow heat to flow is called conductivity. �Materials that have a high conductivity, such as metals, are called conductors. �If a material is a good conductor of heat, it is usually also a good conductor of electricity.
Malleability �Malleability is the ability of a solid to be hammered without shattering. �Most metals are malleable.
Melting and Boiling Point �The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid is its melting point. �The temperature at which a substance boils is its boiling point (liquid to gas).
Density �Density can be used to test the purity of a substance. �Density = Mass/Volume �The more dense you are, the “heavier” you are.
Using Properties to Identify Materials �Filtration and distillation are two common separation methods used to separate mixtures.
Filtration �Filtration is a process that separates materials based on the size of their particles. �Coffee filter
Distillation �Distillation is a process that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling points. �Boiling salt water
Recognizing Physical Changes �A physical change occurs when some of the material remains the same. �EX: If you slowly heat butter in a pan, it changes from a solid to a liquid, but the substances in the butter do not change.
Recognizing Physical Changes �Some physical changes can be reversed. �EX: ice �Some physical changes cannot be reversed. �Peeling an orange
