Chapter 5 - Properties and Changes

any change of a material into a new material with different properties

• chemical change
• physical change
• reactivity
• state of matter

characteristics of something that permits its change to something new

• physical property
• chemical property
• reactivity
• state of matter

physical property of matter that can be found by dividing the matter's mass by it's volume

• size-dependent property
• size-independent property
• density
• state of matter

any change in the size, shape, form, or state of matter in which the matter's identity remains the same.

• chemical change
• reactivity
• density
• physical change

any characteristic of matter - such as color, shape, and taste - that can be detected by the senses without changing the identity of the matter

• physical property
• chemical property
• size-dependent property
• size-independent property

describes how easily something reacts with something else

• chemical change
• reactivity
• chemical property
• state of matter

physical properties - such as volume and mass - that change when the size of the object changes

• physical change
• physical property
• size-dependent property
• size-independent property

physical properties - such as density - that do not change when the size of the object changes

• chemical property
• physical property 
• size-dependent property
• size-independent property

physical property that describes a substance as a solid, liquid, or gas

• state of matter
• size-dependent property
• size-independent property
