 1. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

•can be perceived by the senses

•measured
•texture, color, odor, boiling
point, melting point and
density
 OTHER PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

• solubility
• viscosity
• attraction to magnets
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES HAS 2 TYPES:

• INTENSIVE
•EXTENSIVE
 INTENSIVE PHYSICAL PROPERTY

•does not change when the

amount of matter changes
 EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL PROPERTY

• changes when the amount of

matter changed
