 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATTER
MATTER – it is anything that occupy space and has mass and volume.
The three phases / state of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
Physical property - a characteristic of a material that can be readily
observed without changing its composition.
1. Hardness is the property of an object that makes it withstand pressure.
Examples are metals, wood, and stones
2. Brittleness refers to the ability of an object to be easily broken or
crushed into pieces. Examples are glass wares, floral foam, chalk,
eggshells
3. Malleability – ability of an object to be hammered into
flat sheets . Examples are bottle cap, gold, aluminum
and silver
