PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance chemical identity. Familiar
examples of physical properties are density and color, hardness, melting and boiling point.
The electrical conductivity of a substance is a property that depends only on the type of substance.
Silver, gold, and copper are excellent conductors of electricity, while glass and plastic are poor conductors. A
larger or smaller piece of glass will not change this property. An intensive property is a property of matter that
depends only on the type of matter in a sample and not on the amount. Other intensive properties include
color, temperature, density, solubility, boiling point, melting point, hardness and temperature.
Some properties of matter depend on the size of the sample, while some do not.
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample. The mass of an object
is a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains. A small sample of a certain type of matter will
have a small mass, while a larger sample will have a greater mass. Another extensive property is volume,
entropy, the amount of substance, heat capacity, and internal energy.
