 Physical Properties
Chemistry Name:

A ____________________ is a characteristic or description of a substance

that may help identify it. Physical properties are observed using the
_______________ (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing) and measuring
devices. These can be determined without destroying the substance.

Quantitative vs. Qualitative Properties

Some of the properties scientists use to describe substances can be
measured. Quantitative properties are properties that can be associated
with ________________.
A way to remember: Quantitative comes from the word ________________.

Many of the properties scientists use to describe substances cannot be

measured. Qualitative properties are properties that can be associated with
______________________.
A way to remember: Qualitative comes from the word _________________.

Chemical Change
In a chemical change, the original substance is changed into one or more
____________________ substances. The new substances have different
properties from the original substance.

Clues that a Chemical Change has occurred:

A new colour Heat or light is Bubbles of gas A solid material
appears. given off. are formed. (called a
precipitate)
forms in a liquid.

Most chemical changes are ____________________ to reverse.
