What are facts about Physical Properties?
Color, size, shape, texture, smell and taste...
What are the physical properties of piezoelectric crystals?
Piccolo hates science so he doesnt care to answer this useless question
An element is determined by what?
By the number of protons in the nucleus. So the atomic number decides the element. If it is 1, then that is Hydrogen element. 2 is for Helium, 3-Lithium, 4-Berilium, 5-Boron and so on. Gold element has 79 protons in its nucleus. Mercury has 80. So with a high sophisticated technology if we take only one proton from each mercury atom, then we can produce gold. So mercury has been changed into gold. So transition of element is only by physical means not by chemical means.
Methods scientist use to determine physical changes?
so simple u duffer u don't no it one and only formation of anew substance having different chem properties
When a solid melts its density does not change very much. So why do a liquid and a solid have such different physical properties?
The physical properties are not mainly based on density. The main difference between a solid and a liquid is that in a solid, the forces between atoms or molecules are strong enough to keep them in place. As a result, the solid keeps its shape. ============================ When a solid melts its density changes a lot. The density is the amount of mass a body possesses per unit volume. In solids all the matter is compacted and crushed in a particular place more than a liquid. Its density varies a lot. And density cannot only be the sole characteristic of physical properties as explained by the former contributor.
Is californium a metal metalloid or a nonmetal?
Californium (Cf, 98th element) is a transuranic actinide, so it is a metal.Added:Cf is a synthetic radioactive metallic chemical element.
How can diamond and graphite have different physical and chemical properties if they are made out of the same element?
Actually they have the same chemical properties so therefore they are allotropes of carbon
Is helium a physical property or chemical property?
Helium is an element that has physical properties. So far it has eluded efforts to make it react with anything else. It could thus be argued it does not have chemical properties other than it is very inert.
Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?
Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.
Is Octane a physical or chemical property?
octane is not a chemical or physical property. Properties are what define something not what they are. So octane has both chemical and physical properties.
What is the difference between physical and chemical characteristics?
Matter have two essential types of properties, those are physical properties and chemical properties. Among its physical properties are smell, color, freezing point and boiling point, density, opacity and viscosity. Among chemical properties are reactivity with water, PH, electromotive force and heat of combustion.
Is malleable physical properties or chemical properties?
Physical.
What are 2 physical properties?
...Sounds like your taking basic chemistry:P Two physical properties are color and elasticity. So you understand physical properties are anything you can observe and do not change the objects chemical makeup.
What is the separation of mixtures based on?
The physical properties of the things in the mixture. It could be that one part of the mixture is soluble, the other part insoluble - both physical properties. It could be that you use the boiling point of 2 liquids to separate them - physical properties. You could use a magnet if one part is magnetic and the other isn't - physical properties. And so on. But you are relying on physical properties rather than chemical properties.
What is the properties of oil to the properties of the elements in oil?
the properties of oil are very different from the element in oil so this makes it easy to solvee
Is californium shiny?
i belive so
Can an element be separated into its elements using physical properties?
An element is the basic purist substance , it is composed of atoms of same kind ,not of elements hence an element can't be separated in elements , your question is wrong . A compound can be separated in component elements .
