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.
