 Special Properties of Matter

• The special properties of matter

depends on internal structure and
thus differ from one form of matter,
one substance, to another.
 Special Properties of Matter
• Ductility
• Elasticity
• Hardness
• Malleability
• Porosity
• Tenacity
 Ductility
Property that describes the ability of a
material to stretch thin when tensile stress is
applied.
It is similar to Malleability.
A characteristic of a metal where it is capable
of sustaining large permanent changes in
shape without breaking.
Examples:

A piece of metal is
drawn into a wire.
 Elasticity
The ability of an object or material to resume
its normal shape after being stretched or
compressed.
One of the most important concepts in
neoclassical economic theory.
Examples:
 Hardness
The quality or condition of being hard.
A measure of how resistant solid matter is to
various kinds of permanent shape change
when a compressive force is applied.
Examples:
 Malleability
Is a substances ability of a substance, usually a
metal, to be deformed or molded into a
different shape.
Is a physical property of matter, usually
metals.
Examples:
 Porosity
A term which is used to describe an important
physical property of most materials.
A measure of how much of a rock is open
space
Examples:
 Tenacity
 To stick with something even when the going
gets tough.
 Also means a quality or state of being.
 Refers to minerals toughness or resistance to
breaking or being deformed.
