    An operational definition provides an observable description of a concept or process by stating what actions are performed and what outcomes are observed. The document provides examples of operational definitions for the coagulation of latex, neutralization of acid or alkali, and reactivity of Group 1 elements with water. It describes how an operational definition for coagulation of latex is "when acid is added to latex, white solid is formed". The teacher hopes students now understand the meaning of operational definitions and can ask for clarification if needed.

    Operational Definition

    Operational definition is a statement that shows the "what


    you do and what you observe".

    For example, the operational definition for coagulation of


    latex:

    The "what you do" is... when acid is added to latex..

    The "what you observe " is.... white solid is formed.

    Therefore the operational definition for the coagulation


    of latex is ..When acid is added to latex, white solid is
    formed. (SPM 2008)

    The operational definition for the neutralisation of


    acid or alkali could be... When acid is added to alkali
    with a few drops of phenolphthalein, the pink solution
    changes to colourless.

    The operational definition for the reactivity of


    Group 1 elements towards water:
    When a metal which is lower down in Group 1is
    put into a basin filled with water, the movement of
    the metal on the water surface is faster // more
    vigorous// the flame produced is bigger or
    brighter.

    Teacher Norini hopes that you girls and boys have


    some idea now the meaning of operational definition.
    Well, you can always ask Teacher Norini if you don't.
