Physical Properties - Acc

Elise wants to classify matter based on a physical property. Using the balance shown, how could she classify objects?

• by mass

• by volume

• by density

• by temperature

A metal spoon was left in a pot of boiling soup. The cook burned their hand by grabbing the spoon. What property of the metal led to the cook getting burned?

• The metal spoon has a density of 7.5 g/ml.

• The metal spoon is a good conductor of electricity.

• The metal spoon is a good conductor of heat.

• The metal spoon is very reflective.

Copper makes a good material for electrical wiring because it has a high level of:

• electrical conductivity

• thermal conductivity

• ductility

• solubility

Physical properties are

• properties that can be observed without a making a new substance

• properties that describe the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical change to become a completely different substance

Malleability is the

• ability to be rolled into a shape

• how shiny an object is

• ability to pulled into wires

• the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid

Solubility is

• the ability to be scratched

• the ability to be hammered into thin sheets

• how shiny a substance is

• how easily a substance dissolves into another stubstance

Volume is ...

• Mass/Volume
• The amount of matter in an object.
• The amount of space an object occupies.
• Anything that has mass and occupies space.
