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.

What does propety mean?

Charcteristics, qualities, details. All matter has physical properties and chemical properties. Physical properties are observable by using the senses: mass, volume, color, smell, feel, taste; chemical properties are how it behaves in a reaction: flammability, volatility, reactivity.

If you tripled the volume of your sample of chalkwhat would happen to the mass?

The mass of the chalk would stay the same because volume and mass are independent properties. Triple the volume does not mean that mass will change.

Is cooper a physical property or a chemical property?

Copper is a chemical element, so it is considered a substance with distinct chemical properties, not a physical property. Its physical properties include being a solid at room temperature, having a distinct color and density, while its chemical properties include its ability to react with other substances and form different compounds.


What does volume mean in geometry?

Volume is the space that an object occupies (or that it would occupy if it were to exist in the physical world rather than just as a concept).

It's self explanatory, it's basically the properties of the Earth as well as other surroundings that are physical or something you can touch.


List three physical properties?

If you actually mean the three states of matter, then your answer is liquid, solid, and gas. Plasmas and Bose-Einstein condensates are two other states of matter, extreme heat and extreme cold respectively, but you probably do not need to worry about those.If you actually mean physical properties, then your answer is probably based off of a test or worksheet or something like that for school, because there are way more then just three physical properties.
