Physical Properties of Matter
All substances can be described and
classified by their properties.
Periodic Table of Elements

- matter has mass: phone
- matter takes up space : building

States of Matter
A rare metallic element that is found in small amounts in various rare-earth minerals.
- solids
- liquids
- gases
Matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
Physical Changes of
MATTER
A solid has a definite shape. In a liquid the
particles move more then they do in a solid.
In a gas the particles can move easily.
ice
crushed ice
A physical change begins and ends with the same type of matter.
If an ice cube were crushed into small pieces the type of matter would not change. It began as a solid and ended as a solid.
Chemical Changes
A chemical change changes the type of matter of something into something new.
Chemical Properties
of Matter
All substances can be described and classified by their properties
- toxicity
- flammability
- chemical stability
- heat of combustion
- oxidation states
Someone stirs up and cooks some eggs.
You cannot turn the cooked eggs back into
regular eggs because the matter has changed.
