Problem Analysis and Solution
The provided worksheet focuses on distinguishing between physical properties and chemical properties, as well as matching substances with their respective properties. Below is a detailed solution for each section.
---
Section 1: Physical vs. Chemical Properties
#### Instructions:
- Write "C" for chemical property or "P" for physical property.
#### Solutions:
1. a) Copper bends easily
- Physical Property (P): Bending is a change in shape without altering the chemical composition of copper.
2. b) Iron rusts in the air
- Chemical Property (C): Rusting involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide.
3. c) Water is liquid
- Physical Property (P): Being liquid refers to the state of matter, which is a physical characteristic.
4. d) Helium gas does not burn
- Chemical Property (C): The inability to burn is related to helium's chemical inertness.
5. e) Gold can be easily melted
- Physical Property (P): Melting point is a physical property that describes the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.
6. f) Glass breaks when hit
- Physical Property (P): Breaking glass is a physical change in its structure without altering its chemical composition.
7. g) Water freezes
- Physical Property (P): Freezing is a phase change from liquid to solid, which is a physical process.
8. h) Milk turns sour if left out of the fridge
- Chemical Property (C): Turning sour involves bacterial fermentation, which is a chemical reaction.
9. i) Water evaporates
- Physical Property (P): Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas, which is a physical process.
10. j) Hydrogen gas burns explosively
- Chemical Property (C): Burning is a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen.

- Substance: I. salt
- Salt (sodium chloride) forms crystals.
7. VII. Sweet
- Substance: J. sugar
- Sugar has a sweet taste.
8. VIII. Choking
- Substance: B. talcum powder
- Talcum powder can cause choking if inhaled.
9. IX. Silky
- Substance: A. copper
- Copper has a smooth, silky texture when polished.

- Property: J. brittleness
- Brittleness describes the tendency of a material to break into pieces under stress.
2. II. Has a strong smell
- Property: D. odour
- Odour is the scent or aroma of a substance.
3. III. Is silvery and shiny
- Property: F. lustre
- Lustre refers to the way a material reflects light, such as being shiny or dull.
4. IV. You can see through it
- Property: E. clarity
- Clarity refers to transparency or the ability to see through a material.
5. V. Feels rough and gritty
- Property: H. texture
- Texture describes the feel or surface quality of a material.
6. VI. Has an irregular shape
- Property: G. form
- Form refers to the shape or structure of a material.
7. VII. Solid
- Property: B. state
- State refers to whether a substance is solid, liquid, or gas.
8. VIII. Thick like syrup
- Property: M. viscosity
- Viscosity measures the thickness or resistance to flow of a liquid.
9. IX. Can be drawn into a wire
- Property: L. ductility
- Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire.
10. X. Diamonds cannot be scratched
- Property: I. hardness
- Hardness measures a material's resistance to scratching or indentation.
11. XI. Can be hammered into a foil
- Property: K. malleability
