What does volume mean when your talking about physical properties?

Answer 1

A physical property of a element or compound is something that does not change regardless of the amount of material you have. That is to say, a physical property remains true for a material in all proportions.

For example, 1 liter of water will boil at the same temperature as 100 milliliters -- 100 degrees C. Thus, boiling point is a physical property of water. Volume, by definition, is the amount of 3-dimensional space an amount of material takes up, which will undoubtedly change the more or less material you have.

Answer 2

Density is a physical property and not a chemical property because density changes with respect to change in the states of matter. In Solid, Liquid and Gas respectively, the density changes. For example, water, ice and water vapour have different densities.

Answer 3

Example:

You could have a small volume of water (a drop on the floor) or a large volume

of water (Lake Michigan), so volume is not a characteristic property of water.

Answer 4

Flammability and chemical reactivity, for ex., are not physical properties.

Answer 5

yes
