object
occupies (in
3
mL, L, cm ,

m , etc.)
6. Density – the ratio of mass to volume;
reflects the degree of packing of particles
in matter.
D = m/v

7. Luster
The way that
a substance
reflects light
(metallic,
non-metallic,
glassy,
pearly, dull).
8. Ductility
Ability of a
substance to
be stretched
into a wire.
9. Malleability
Ability of a
substance to
be hammered
flat and to
retain the new
shape.
