 PROPERTIES OF MATTER

• Physical property
This refers to the characteristic or trait of matter
that can be observed or perceived with our
senses easily without changing its chemical
composition.

24
 2 CLASSIFICATIONS OF PHYSICAL
PROPERTY

• Intensive Physical Property

This is the characteristic or trait of
matter that does not depend on the
amount.

25
 2 CLASSIFICATIONS OF PHYSICAL
PROPERTY

• Extensive Physical Property

It is the characteristic or trait of matter
which is dependent on the amount or
quantity.

26
 2 CLASSIFICATIONS OF PHYSICAL
PROPERTY

• Chemical Property
This is the characteristic or trait that
can be observed when a matter reacts
to another substance.

27
