Matter can be classified according to its composition
Solid: has a definite shape, mass & volume & are highly rigid. They cannot flow, have high density, are almost incompressible & have any no. of free surfaces.
Liquid: has a definite mass & volume but no fixed shape & are less rigid. They can flow & take up the shape of the container in which it is stored.
Gas: have a definite mass but have no fixed volume or shape & is not at all rigid. They can flow & take up the shape & volume of the container in which it is stored.

Name 2 chemical properties?
the physical properties-the color of the popcorn ,the mass of it ,,the size,,the weight,,and the shape ,, .........chemical properties-it poped it change from seeds to popcorn.....
Color hardness viscosity and brittleness are?
properties of matter
What is the difference between a chemical and a physical property of a substance?
A physical property can be observed without changing the material's composition. A chemical property can only be observed when a chemical change takes place.
What the two characteristic properties of matter?
All types of matter have the mass and volume.
What particle of an element cannot be created or destroyed?
The number of protons in the nucleus. This determines the chemical properties of the atom and which chemical element it is.
Does all types of matter have chemical or physical properties?
All types of matter have physical properties.

What is a change in which chemically different types of matter are formed?
chemical change
If all atoms contain the same types of subatomic particles why do different atoms have different properties?
It is a matter of how they are arranged and electrically charged that changes the properties of them
What are the different types of hydrocarbons in terms of its chemical properties?
hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.
Can plastic be made different?
Now are known hundreds types of plastic materials, different by chemical, physical and mechanical properties.
The difference between aluminum and iron?
They are two different elements composed of two different types of atom. They have different chemical and physical properties.
How can different types of matter be distinguished from each other?
The short answer is by their properties. If you mean solids, liquids and gases then you look at whether they have fixed shapes and fixed volumes or not. If you mean different substances, then you look at properties such as melting point, appearance and chemical reactions.
How is it that substances can have the same chemical formulas but make different types of matter?
You think probable to isomers.
What is the difference between a chemical and a physical property of a substance?
A physical property can be observed without changing the material's composition. A chemical property can only be observed when a chemical change takes place.
Are characteristics and properties the same?
a chemical is to react to something and a physical is to do something and the study of matter and energy
