Key Stage 3
Meaning
Physical Properties are features of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance itself.
About Physical Properties
Physical Properties include:
- Melting Point
- Boiling Point
- Opacity
- Density
- Thermal Conductivity
- Electrical Conductivity
- Hardness
- Malleability
- Ductility
- Sonorousness
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Physical Properties are features of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance itself.
Properties and Applications
Property | Application |
High Melting Point | Jet engines so they don't melt as the fuel is burned inside them. |
Transparent | Used for windows, containers for a light source and lenses to allow light through. |
Low Density | Used in aircraft and cars to keep a low weight. |
High Density | Used in bullets and artillery shells to increase the momentum and then the force during a collision. |
Low Thermal Conductivity | Clothing, house insulation, handles for pots and pans to prevent extreme temperatures spreading from one region to another. |
High Thermal Conductivity | Pots and pan to allow then to heat quickly to cook food. |
Low Electrical Conductivity | Covering wires to prevent electricity flowing out of the wires. |
High Electrical Conductivity | Wires to allow electricity to pass through. |
Hard | Walls to prevent damage from impact. |
Malleable | Wires so they can be bent into new positions without breaking. |
Ductile | Wires because they need to be stretched into shape. |
Sonorous | Bells to make a sound when struck. |
