Properties of Objects That Can Be Identified by Observation Only
(Using senses or tools directly without deeper analysis)
Physical Properties:
- Shape (e.g., circular, rectangular)
- Size (relative or measurable dimensions like small, large, tall)
- Color (e.g., red, blue, transparent)
- Texture (e.g., smooth, rough, sticky)
- State of Matter (solid, liquid, gas)
- Luster (e.g., shiny, dull)
- Opacity (opaque, translucent, transparent)
- Smell (e.g., sweet, pungent)
- Sound (e.g., loud, soft, pitch)
- Temperature (relative warmth or coldness felt by touch)
- Motion (whether it is moving or stationary)
Quantifiable Properties with Instruments:
- Length or Height (measurable with rulers or similar tools)
- Volume (observable using containers or water displacement)
- Weight (observable using scales)
Properties of Objects That Cannot Be Identified by Observation Only
(Require additional testing, experimentation, or context)
Chemical Properties:
- Flammability (ability to burn in oxygen)
- Reactivity (how it reacts with acids, bases, or other substances)
- Toxicity (harmful effects on organisms)
- pH Level (acidic, neutral, or basic nature)
- Oxidation State (tendency to gain or lose electrons)
Intrinsic Properties:
- Density (requires mass and volume calculation)
- Melting/Boiling Point (needs controlled heating)
- Electrical Conductivity (testing needed with a circuit)
- Thermal Conductivity (ability to transfer heat)
- Hardness (requires scratching or resistance testing)
- Magnetic Properties (needs interaction with a magnet)
Behavioral/Functional Properties:
- Elasticity (requires applying force to observe deformation and recovery)
- Strength (needs testing under stress or load)
- Durability (requires observation over time or repeated use)
- Biodegradability (requires time to observe decomposition)
Conclusion:
- Observable Properties focus on what is apparent through senses or direct measurement.
- Non-Observable Properties require additional experimentation or tools to identify specific characteristics.
