Example Questions
Example Question #61 : Middle School Physical Science
The property of metal that means it is easily bent or hammered into different shapes is:
malleability
flammability
electromagnetic
conductivity
malleability
The answer is "malleability." This is a property of metals which means they are easily bent or hammered into new shapes.
Example Question #62 : Middle School Physical Science
Mass, volume, ductility, boiling point, melting point, and density are all examples of:
chemical and physical properties
physical properties
chemical properties
physical properties
The answer is "physical properties" because all of these properties are observable in physical changes.
Example Question #63 : Middle School Physical Science
Which property of a substance means that electricity and heat can easily pass thorough it?
conductivity
density
malleability
flammability
conductivity
The answer is conductivity. Conductivity means electricity and heat can easily pass thorough a substance.
Example Question #64 : Middle School Physical Science
Which answer choice is NOT likely to be a property of a metal?
not very reactive
naturally occurs as a solid
malleable
highly flammable
highly flammable
The answer is highly flammable. Most metals are not easily caught on fire.
Example Question #65 : Middle School Physical Science
Density is the property of a substance that means:
how much space a substance takes up
how easy it is to bend into different shapes
the amount of matter per unit volume of a substance
how easy it is to set it on fire
the amount of matter per unit volume of a substance
Density is the property of a substance that describes the amount of matter per unit volume of a substance.
Example Question #66 : Middle School Physical Science
Which answer choice is NOT an example of a physical property of a substance?
ductility
melting point
luster
corrosiveness
corrosiveness
The answer is corrosiveness because corrosion occurs through chemical reactions and is therefore a chemical property
Example Question #67 : Middle School Physical Science
Which answer choice is NOT a chemical property of a substance?
flammability
toxicity
reactivity
boiling point
boiling point
The answer is boiling point because when a substance boils and changes states, it is undergoing a physical change. Therefore boiling point is a physical property.
Example Question #68 : Middle School Physical Science
What is a property of a substance?
a characteristic that can be observed in a physical change
a characteristic that can be deserved
none of these
a characteristic that can be observed in a chemical change
a characteristic that can be deserved
The answer is "a characteristic that can be observed" because whether a property is chemical or physical is a sub-classification of a property.
Example Question #69 : Middle School Physical Science
Combustibility, toxicity, PH, reactivity, ability to rust, and flammability are all examples of:
chemical properties
none of these
both chemical and physical properties
physical properties
chemical properties
The answer is "chemical properties" because they are all observable in chemical changes.
Example Question #70 : Middle School Physical Science
Malleability, flammability, melting point, boiling point, and toxicity are all examples of:
chemical properties
both physical and chemical properties
none of these
physical properties
both physical and chemical properties
The answer is "both chemical and physical properties" because they can be observed in physical and chemical changes.
