  • What is a colorless substance in terms of physical properties?

    A colorless substance is one that lacks color, which is a physical property observable through visual perception.
  • Which is a property of metals as a result of their extended structures of atoms?

    Metals exhibit hardness due to their extended structures of atoms, which is a physical property related to resistance to deformation.
  • Which soil particle size holds the most water?

    Clay particles hold the most water due to their small size and large surface area, which allows for greater water retention.
  • What determines whether an object sinks or floats in a liquid?

    Density determines whether an object sinks or floats in a liquid, as it reflects the mass per unit volume of the substance.
  • How is mass defined in terms of physical properties?

    Mass is a physical property that reflects the amount of matter in an object, measurable without altering its chemical structure.
  • What does the boiling point of a substance indicate?

    The boiling point indicates the temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a gas, a key physical property.
  • How can hardness be described as a physical property?

    Hardness is a physical property that measures a material's resistance to deformation or scratching.
  • What is the significance of volume as a physical property?

    Volume measures the space occupied by an object, a physical property that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical structure.
  • What is the freezing point in terms of physical properties?

    The freezing point is the temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a solid, indicating a phase change.
  • How is color perceived as a physical property?

    Color is perceived visually and represents a physical property that can be observed without altering the chemical structure of a substance.
