Step-by-step solution for: 50 Properties Of Matter Worksheet
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "The Properties of Matter: Review of Terms and Concepts Worksheet", but the image appears to be partially cut off or incomplete — specifically, the last part of question (d) is missing, and some text at the bottom is not visible. However, I can help you solve and explain the parts that are clearly visible.
Let’s go through each section step by step, filling in the blanks with appropriate scientific terms based on standard science curriculum content.

#### a)
> A __________ property is characteristic of matter that can be __________ or __________ without changing the identity of the substance. Meanwhile, a chemical property is one that is observed when a substance __________ with another substance resulting in a __________ to the identity of that substance.
Answer:
A physical property is characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Meanwhile, a chemical property is one that is observed when a substance reacts with another substance resulting in a change to the identity of that substance.
✔ *Explanation:*
- Physical properties include color, density, melting point, etc., which can be observed or measured without altering the substance's chemical composition.
- Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances (e.g., flammability, reactivity), leading to a new substance.

#### b)
> When you look at lawn, you can tell that the grass is green and not red, unless you are color blind. In this case you are noticing the property of __________ of the grass. You can also detect how much light can pass through the object, and this physical property is called __________. If an object only lets some light through, like a stained glass window would, then the object is called __________. If an object lets all of the light pass through, like a clean window would, then the object is called __________. Another physical property you can determine about an object while looking at it is how much light reflects off its surface, and this physical property is called __________. Substances known as shiny metals are very __________, but substances like rubber are very __________.
Answer:
When you look at lawn, you can tell that the grass is green and not red, unless you are color blind. In this case you are noticing the property of color of the grass. You can also detect how much light can pass through the object, and this physical property is called transparency. If an object only lets some light through, like a stained glass window would, then the object is called translucent. If an object lets all of the light pass through, like a clean window would, then the object is called transparent. Another physical property you can determine about an object while looking at it is how much light reflects off its surface, and this physical property is called luster. Substances known as shiny metals are very reflective, but substances like rubber are very dull.
✔ *Explanation:*
- Color: Visual appearance due to reflected light.
- Transparency: Ability of a material to allow light to pass through.
- Transparent: All light passes through (e.g., glass).
- Translucent: Some light passes through, but scattered (e.g., frosted glass).
- Luster: How light reflects off a surface — metallic (shiny) vs. dull (matte).

#### c)
> When you touch an object, you can get information about two other physical properties. You can see how easy it is to scratch or dent the object, and this property is called __________. The substance that is most difficult to scratch in the world is __________. Another physical property you can determine by touching the object is how the surface of the object feels, and this property is called __________. Substances like iron are __________, spoons are __________, and sandpaper is __________.
Answer:
When you touch an object, you can get information about two other physical properties. You can see how easy it is to scratch or dent the object, and this property is called hardness. The substance that is most difficult to scratch in the world is diamond. Another physical property you can determine by touching the object is how the surface of the object feels, and this property is called texture. Substances like iron are smooth, spoons are smooth, and sandpaper is rough.
✔ *Explanation:*
- Hardness: Resistance to scratching (measured by Mohs scale; diamond is hardest).
- Texture: Surface feel — smooth, rough, bumpy, etc.
- Iron and spoons are typically smooth.
- Sandpaper has a rough texture for abrasion.

#### d)
> Many metals have physical properties in common. For example, __________ is a physical property that allows a metal to be stretched into a wire. This shape is called a __________. Another physical property is __________, which allows a metal to be hammered into thin sheets. This shape is called a __________.
Answer:
Many metals have physical properties in common. For example, ductility is a physical property that allows a metal to be stretched into a wire. This shape is called a wire. Another physical property is malleability, which allows a metal to be hammered into thin sheets. This shape is called a sheet.
✔ *Explanation:*
- Ductility: Ability to be drawn into wires (e.g., copper).
- Malleability: Ability to be flattened into sheets without breaking (e.g., gold foil).
- These are key characteristics of metals.
