WORKSHEET ON CHEMICAL VS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CHANGES

Keep this in your binder as a study guide! You will have a quiz on this next class!

Background:

Keeping the difference between physical and chemical properties as well as changes can be a

challenge! This worksheet will help you do this. First, use the book to define the following terms. VOCABULARY WORD Physical Property Physical Change Chemical Property Chemical Change Change in which the identity of the substance does NOT change DEFINITION

Part One:
Boiling point elasticity

Physical or Chemical Property? Fill in the chart using the vocabulary words or phrases provided. Ability to rust Flammability Melting point Density Brittleness Transparency Reactivity with vinegar ductility

Vocabulary words

Each word is used once. Define the word when done! Chemical Property Definition The ability to burn Reacts with oxygen to produce rust

Physical Property

Definition The property of letting light pass through something

Part Two:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Physical or Chemical Change? Indicate with a P or a C which type of change is taking place.

____________ glass breaking ____________ hammering wood together ____________ a rusting bicycle ____________ melting butter ____________ separate sand from gravel ____________ bleaching your hair ____________ frying an egg ____________ squeeze oranges for juice ____________ melting ice

WORKSHEET ON CHEMICAL VS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CHANGES

Keep this in your binder as a study guide!

Keeping the difference between physical and chemical properties as well as changes can be a

challenge! This worksheet will help you do this. First, use the book to define the following terms. VOCABULARY WORD Physical Property Physical Change Chemical Property Chemical Change DEFINITION
Characteristics of matter that can be seen through direct observation such as density, melting point, and boiling point Change in which the identity of the substance does NOT change Characteristic of matter that can only be observed when one substance changes into a difference substance, such as iron into rust Transforms one type of matter into another kind, which may have different properties.

Part One:
Boiling point elasticity

Physical or Chemical Property? Fill in the chart using the vocabulary words or phrases provided. Ability to rust Flammability Melting point Freezing point Brittleness Transparency Reactivity with vinegar ductility

Vocabulary words

Each word is used once. Define the word when done! Chemical Property Definition
flammability Ability to rust Reactivity with vinegar The ability to burn Reacts with oxygen to produce rust Reacts with vinegar to produce new substances

Physical Property
transparency Boiling point Melting point Brittleness Ductility Elasticity Density

Definition
The property of letting light pass through something Temperature at which a substance goes from liquid to gas Temperature at which a substance goes from solid to a liquid Tendency to crack or break Ability to bend without breaking Ability to be stretched or compressed then return to original size Mass per unit volume
