1. Density
• Density= mass (g)/volume (mL)
• You can compare unknown solids by finding their
densities and seeing if they are the same
• Density can be measured by using a triple beam
balance to find the mass, then if it is a geometric
shape you could use a ruler, or a graduated
cylinder
• It is a physical characteristic
2. Suspension
• A suspension is a type of mixture
• It can be distinguished as a suspension
because it has layers
3. Mixture
• Matter can either be a compound or a mixture
• A mixture is a physical combination
• It can only be broken down physically
• It can be in any ratio (no fixed or uniform ratio)
• No one unique set of properties
4. Compounds
• When matter is not classified as a mixture
it is a compound
• A compound is a chemical combination
• Can only be broken down chemically
• Always in a fixed ratio
• All compounds have a unique set of
properties
5. Boiling and Melting
Point
• The temperature at which a substance boils
or melts
• It is a physical property
6. Physical Properties
• Density, Hardness, Boiling Point, Melting
Points, Malleability,Viscosity, Conductivity
• These are physical changes to a matter
8. Filtration
• A process that separates materials based
on the size of the particles and/or
solubility
•
9. Evaporation
• A process used to isolate a solid dissolved in liquid
• Property: Solubility
• Disclaimer:You are not going to isolate a pure
sample of all components of a mixture
•
10. Chemical Properties
• This is a property produces a change in the composition of the matter
• Chemical properties can only be observed when the substances in a sample
of matter are changing into different substances
• Three common types of evidence of a chemical property are a change in
color, production of gas, and formation of a precipitate
• Two examples of chemical changes are flammability, and reactivity
• The main difference between a physical change and a chemical change is that
a chemical change will change the composition of the matter and a physical
change will not
12. Reactivity
• Reactivity is the property that describes
how readily a substance combines
chemically with other substances
• This nail has reacted with oxygen and
water
13. Precipitate
• A precipitate is any solid that forms and
separates from a liquid mixture
• Ex: If lemon juice or vinegar is added to
milk
