PROPERTIES OF

MATTER
Physical and Chemical Properties
 Physical Properties
Properties that can be observed without
changing the composition of a substance
They are classified into
extensive and intensive  Phase
properties  Color
 Solubility
 Boiling point
 Melting point
 Volatility
 Viscosity
 Conductivity
 Extensive Properties
Also known as extrinsic properties
Properties that depend on the amount of
matter
 Mass
 Length
 Size
 Volume
 Intensive Properties
Also known as intrinsic properties
Properties that depend on the quality/type
of material
 Odor
 Color
 Melting point
 Boiling point
 Freezing point
 Density
 Thermal conductivity
 Electrical conductivity
 Chemical Properties
Properties that can be observed with an
accompanying change in the chemical
composition of a substance
 Flammability
 Chemical reactivity
