    This document provides information on physical and chemical properties. It defines physical properties as those that can be observed and measured without changing the substance's basic nature, such as color, shape, and melting/boiling points. Chemical properties involve chemical changes, like reactivity and flammability. Examples are given of determining the melting point of ice and boiling point of water through experimentation. Common physical and chemical properties are identified.

    Grade : VI DIV : _____ Sub: Chemistry notes Topic: Physical & Chemical properties

    Name of the student : _________________ Roll no:________

    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
    The properties that can be observed and measured without changing the basic nature of the substance.

    Examples of the physical properties are:

    color, shape, texture, odour, taste, malleability, conductivity, elasticity, magnetism, density, mass,
    opacity, volatility, diffusion, transparency, solubility, melting point, boiling point etc.

    Melting point and boiling point:


    Melting point : The temperature a substance changes from solid to liquid.
    Boiling point : The temperature a substance changes from a liquid to gas.

    Melting point and boiling are generally considered while choosing a material for use.

    Results table for measuring boiling point of water.

    CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
    A property that is seen when a substance takes part in a chemical change.
    Examples of chemical properties are:
    Reactivity, flammability, acidity, alkalinity, toxicity etc.

    • Reactivity of a substance tells us how likely a substance will undergo a chemical reaction
    • Let’s say we carry out the experiment by adding potassium, magnesium and zinc into test tubes
    containing dilute sulfuric acid.
    • We’d expect the potassium to react explosively (in reality you would never do this in a school
    laboratory as it is too dangerous), while the magnesium would bubble vigorously and the zinc
    would form bubbles very slowly.
    • We can therefore confirm their order of reactivity (from most reactive to least) as: potassium,
    magnesium then zinc.

    • Flammability is the ability of a chemical to burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion.
    • Knowing chemical properties helps to identify an unknown material.

    Q1. Identify each of the following as an example of a physical property or a chemical property.
    1. Silver tarnishes when it comes in contact with hydrogen sulfide in the air.

    2. A banana is yellow.

    3. A sheet of copper can be pounded into a bowl.

    4. Barium melts at 725 degree celcius.

    5. Gasoline is flammable.

    6. A diamond is the hardest natural substance.

    7. Helium does not react with any other element.

    8. A bar of lead is more easily bent than is a bar of aluminium of the same size.

    9. Potassium metal is kept submerged in oil to prevent contact with oxygen or water.

    10. An apple will turn brown is left in oxygen.

    Q2. A student is investigating the melting point of the solid. He plans to record his observation in the
    following table:

    Time ( ) Temperature ( )
    0 25
    1 40
    2 62
    3 88
    4 102
    5 110
    6 110
    7 110

    a. Complete the column headings.


    b. Identify and write the melting point of the substance from the observation table.
