Physical and Chemical Properties

• Physical Properties: • Characteristics you can observe that do not

change the identity of the substance. • Ex: Stretch, Melt, Boil

• Chemical Properties:• Characteristic that indicates if a substance

Physical and Chemical Changes• Physical Change:• Change in size, shape or state of matter

without changing the identity of the matter.• Ex: Iron absorbs heat and changes from

solid to liquid (state of matter change) and glows red.

• Chemical Change:• Change of one substance to another.• Ex: Eggs decompose giving off hydrogen

sulfide H₂S
