Physical Properties
Physical properties are useful for identifying
Vocabulary A-Z unknown substances.

Let us learn some vocabulary When you identify matter using physical properties,
consider how the properties are alike and how they
are different.
Physical Property

a characteristic of matter that you can observe or
measure without changing the identity of the matter
