Describe properties of substances - Middle School Physical Science

Card 0 of 20

Question

Malleability, flammability, melting point, boiling point, and toxicity are all examples of:

Answer

The answer is "both chemical and physical properties" because they can be observed in physical and chemical changes.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

The property of metal that means it is easily bent or hammered into different shapes is:

Answer

The answer is "malleability." This is a property of metals which means they are easily bent or hammered into new shapes.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which property of a substance means that electricity and heat can easily pass thorough it?

Answer

The answer is conductivity. Conductivity means electricity and heat can easily pass thorough a substance.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which answer choice is NOT likely to be a property of a metal?

Answer

The answer is highly flammable. Most metals are not easily caught on fire.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Density is the property of a substance that means:

Answer

Density is the property of a substance that describes the amount of matter per unit volume of a substance.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which answer choice is NOT an example of a physical property of a substance?

Answer

The answer is corrosiveness because corrosion occurs through chemical reactions and is therefore a chemical property

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which answer choice is NOT a chemical property of a substance?

Answer

The answer is boiling point because when a substance boils and changes states, it is undergoing a physical change. Therefore boiling point is a physical property.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

What is a property of a substance?

Answer

The answer is "a characteristic that can be observed" because whether a property is chemical or physical is a sub-classification of a property.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Mass, volume, ductility, boiling point, melting point, and density are all examples of:

Answer

The answer is "physical properties" because all of these properties are observable in physical changes.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Combustibility, toxicity, PH, reactivity, ability to rust, and flammability are all examples of:

Answer

The answer is "chemical properties" because they are all observable in chemical changes.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Density is the property of a substance that means:

Answer

Density is the property of a substance that describes the amount of matter per unit volume of a substance.

Compare your answer with the correct one above
