Special Properties of

Matter
By: Group 7
 Special Properties of Matter
• The special properties of matter depends
on internal structure and thus differ from
one form of matter, one substance, to
another.
 Ductility
Property that describes the ability of a
material to stretch thin when tensile stress is
applied.
It is similar to Malleability.
Examples:

A piece of metal is
drawn into a wire.
 Elasticity
The ability of an object or material to resume
its normal shape after being stretched or
compressed.
One of the most important concepts in
neoclassical economic theory.
Examples:
 Hardness
The quality or condition of being hard.
A measure of how resistant solid matter is to
various kinds of permanent shape change
when a compressive force is applied.
Examples:
 Malleability
Ability of a substance, usually a metal, to be
deformed or molded into a different shape. It
can be easily pressed or forged into shape.
Ability of solid to bend or hammered into
other shapes without breaking.
Examples:
 Porosity
A term which is used to describe an important
physical property of most materials.
A measure of how much of a rock is open
space.
Examples:
 Tenacity
 To stick with something even when the going
gets tough.
 Refers to minerals toughness or resistance to
breaking or being deformed.
Examples:
