Physical Property-A trait of
matter that can be observed or
measured without changing the
chemical composition of the
matter.
No chemical reactions allowed!

11)Melting Point/Freezing
Point -
The exact temperature at
which a solid becomes a
liquid or a liquid becomes
a solid.
For H
2O, what
temperature is this?
12) Boiling Point/
Condensation Point -
The exact temperature at
which a liquid becomes a
gas or a gas becomes a
liquid.
For H

Chemical Property-A trait of
matter that can only be observed if a
substance has the property. In the
process of testing the chemical
property, the substance changes
composition if it has that property.
i.e. Does the substance chemically
“react with”something else?

5) Chemical formula (chemical composition):
What something is made of is alwaysa chemical
property.

Why?
2.1 Properties of Matter >
77
Allchemical
properties are
intensive. None
are extensive.
Why?
Because chemical properties never depend on
how much of a substance is present, but only
on what kind of particles make up the
substance.
