    This document defines and distinguishes between physical properties, extensive properties, intensive properties, chemical properties, pure substances, elements, and compounds. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical composition and include extensive properties like mass and volume that depend on amount, as well as intensive properties like color and melting point that are independent of amount. Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to chemically react and form new substances. Pure substances are either elements that cannot be broken down further or compounds containing fixed proportions of two or more elements.

    Properties of Matter

    Physical Property
    - can be measured without changing the chemical composition of that matter
    - can be further subdivided into extensive and intensive properties.

    Extensive Properties
    - are those that depend on the amount of matter being measured.
    - classic examples of extensive physical properties are the mass, volume, and number of moles
    - decreasing the amount of matter being weighed will decrease the mass of that matter.

    Intensive properties
    - are independent of the amount of matter being considered.
    - examples of intensive properties are color, melting point, boiling point, and density.

    Chemical Properties
    - describe the characteristic ability of a substance to react to form new substances.
    - classic examples of chemical properties include flammability and susceptibility to corrosion.

    Types of Matter
    Pure Substance
    A substance is a form of matter with a definite composition and distinct properties. A
    pure substance can be further classified into two categories: elements and compounds.
    Element
    - a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances using any chemical.
    Compound
    - two or more types of elements are used in fixed proportion with one another to form a single
    substance
