Properties of a substance are the set of characteristics by which the substance is recognized (we call them observations/data in the lab). They can describe: |
Physical Properties of a substance are those characteristics that can be observed without the production of new substances (ex. color, taste, hardness, density, melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity) Chemical Properties of a substance are those characteristics that describe how the substance interacts (or fails to interact) with other substances to produce new substances |
Physical Properties of a substance are those characteristics that can be observed without the production of new substances (ex. color, taste, hardness, density, melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity). In other words, you are not changing the particles (base units), just how far each particles in away from each other. |
Chemical Properties of a substance are those characteristics that describe how the substance interacts (or fails to interact) with other substances to produce new substances. In other words, you are changing the particles (base units) usually by how valence electrons are interacting between atoms. |
