describes qualities or characteristics of the objects

qualitative data

measures qualities or characteristics of the object

quantitative data

properties that can be observed using our senses, and can be measured without changing the composition of the substance

physical properties

measure of amount of matter in a substance

mass

difference between mass and weight

• mass remains constant but weight changes depending on the gravitational force

amount of space occupied by a substance

volume

describes the amount of matter in a given space, and how tightly that amount of matter is packed together

density

equation of density

d = m/v

measure or degree of hotness of coldness

temperature

energy from the vibrating particles is measured by temperature. energy in motion is called

average kinetic energy

temperature at which the solid melts

melting point

temperature at which the liquid boils

boiling point

can be observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change

chemical

does not depend on the amount being measured

intrinsic

depends on the amount being measured

extrinsic

to be hammered into thin sheets

malleability

to be stretched into long wires

ductility

the ability to reflect light on its surface skinny appearance

luster
