Properties of Matter

2. the amount of space that something occupies or the amount of space that something contains; liquids measured in mL, L solid rectangular volume: l x w x h = cm3
11. - the resistance of a liquid to flow high viscosity=slow low viscosity = fast flow
13. or intrinsic property - a property of a substance that is always the same whether the sample observed is large or small; ex: density, reactivity, solubility
14. - anything that has volume and mass
16. - (SAHL yoo BIL uh tee) the ability to dissolve in another substance
17. – the way an object reflects light; shiny or dull
18. – the ability of a substance to burn
19. –the ability of two or more substances to combine and form a new substance or substances

1. - the amount of matter in a given space; mass per unit volume; D=m/v
3. - the curve at a liquid’s surface by which you measure the volume of the liquid
4. - An upward force on an object that is floating or submerged in a liquid or gas
5. change - a change that occurs when one or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with different properties; cannot be reversed using physical means Clues a chemical change is taking place: fizzing or foaming, color change, heat, production of sound or light
6. - (duhk TIL uh tee) the ability of a substance to be drawn or pulled into a wire; ex: copper, gold
7. - the amount of matter that something is made of; measured in g, kg, mg
8. change - a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance; many physical properties are easy to undo
9. - a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object, usually by the Earth; measured in Newtons
10. - (MAL ee uh BIL uh tee) the ability of a substance to be pounded into thin sheets; ex: aluminum
12. conductivity - the rate at which a substance transfers thermal energy (therm means heat)
15. -physical form in which a substance exists: solid, liquid, gas, plasma
