    Properties of Matter Notes

    Matter has observable physical properties that can be detected without changing its identity, such as color, shape, size, and mass. Physical properties can sometimes be measured but do not change the substance. Density is a physical property that is the amount of matter present in a given volume and remains constant. A physical change alters physical properties like state of matter but does not create a new substance. Chemical properties describe how substances form new substances through chemical reactions, evidenced by changes in atoms and the production of a new material.

    Properties of Matter

    I. Matter has observable properties


    a. Physical properties describe a substance
    b. Physical properties can be observed without changing the
    identity of the substance
    i. All your senses can be used to detect physical
    properties
    ii. Physical properties include color, shape, size, texture,
    volume, mass, and density
    II. Physical Properties
    a. Can sometimes be measured (ex. You can measure the mass,
    volume and density of a substance without changing the
    substance’s identity)
    b. Density is the amount of matter present in a given volume of
    a substance
    c. Density for any substance is constant; it doesn’t change no
    matter how much of the substance you have
    III. Physical Changes
    a. A physical change is a change in any physical property of the
    substance, not a change in the substance itself (ex. The
    shape of the clay changes, but the clay is still clay.)
    b. States of matter changes are physical changes (ex. Ice
    melting into liquid water is a physical change; it’s a change
    of state)
    c. To determine whether a substance has undergone a physical
    change, you ask yourself whether you still have the same
    substance you started with; if it’s the same substance then
    it underwent a physical change
    IV. Chemical properties describe how substances for new
    substances
    a. Chemical properties describe how substances can form new
    substances
    b. The ability to rust is a chemical property of iron; a new
    substance is formed which is rust
    c. The ability to burn is a chemical property
    V. Chemical Changes
    a. A chemical change occurs when one substance changes into
    another substance (ex. Wood is burned and produces ash;
    the wood is gone and the new substance formed is ashes)
    b. Atoms are rearranged to make new substances during a
    chemical change
    c. The only true indication that a chemical change has
    occurred is the formation of a new substance
    d. Common signs of chemical changes occurring include, but are
    not limited to, production of an odor, change in
    temperature, change in color, formation of bubbles (a gas),
    formation of a solid
    e. A precipitate is a solid that forms when two liquids undergo
    a chemical change to form a solid (ex. Mussels and clams,
    their shells are the precipitate of two liquids forming a
    solid)
