ೃ࿔*:･ LESSON 1: PROPERTIES OF

MATTER
ೀ⋆｡ 🌷 LESSON 2 : USES OF THE
PROPERTIES OF
MATTER
PROPERTIES OF MATTER: DEFINITION
→ many products have similarities to one another.
● observable characteristics → e.g. sugar and salt which are both white in color.
● traits/qualities → be familiar with products to avoid accident because of the
wrong choice of substance,
MAJOR CLASSIFICATIONS → secondly is get the best result by using the right material.

1. Physical properties
a. Intensive physical property
b. Extensive physical property
2. Chemical properties

✮⋆˙ PHYSICAL PROPERTY

● observable properties
● determined using by senses without alternating
the composition of matter
● Sight: color & shape
● Touch: texture & temperature
● Smell: scent

˗ˏˋ INTENSIVE PHYSICAL PROPERTY ˎˊ˗

→ characteristic or trait of matter that does not depend on the
amount.
→ properties of chalk will fall under intensive physical
property because if you increase the amount of chalk, the
color and its shape will remain the same which is white and
cylindrical in shape
Under Intensive physical property
1. Temperature
2. Malleability
→ ability of substance to be hammered or
transformed into a thin sheet.
→ e.g metals like bracelet, tin cans, metallic roofs
3. Diffusion
→ ability of matter to be scattered or spread out.
→ This can be observed when you add ink into the
water; the ink will mix with the water even without
stirring it.
4. Ductility
→ ability of substance to be stretched into wire
→ e.g. strings of the guitar or wires

ˏˋ EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL PROPERTY ˎˊ˗

→ characteristic or trait of matter which is dependent on the
amount or quantity.
→ e.g size, mass, volume, density, length and width
→ if amount of matter or particles is increased, it causes a
change in the size, mass, volume, density, length and width of
the object.

✮⋆˙ CHEMICAL PROPERTY

● characteristic or trait that can be observed when a
matter reacts to another substance.
● e.g combustibility/ flammability, oxidation like rusting
