SCIENCE - Chemical Properties of Matter

Refers to how readily a substance undergoes chemical reactions with other substances. For example, substances like sodium

Is the ability of a substance to catch fire and burn. Some materials, such as wood and paper

Is the gradual breakdown or deterioration of a substance due to chemical reactions, typically with oxygen or moisture. Rusting of iron is an example of this.

Refers to the degree to which a substance can harm living organisms when it is ingested, inhaled, or comes into contact with the skin. Some substances, such as certain chemicals or heavy metals

Describes how resistant a substance is to undergoing chemical changes or reactions. Inert gases like helium is an example of this.

Describe the ability of a substance to be an acid . Examples : lemon juice is acidic, while baking soda is basic.

Is a chemical property that describes a substance's ability to lose electrons when it reacts with another substance, resulting in the formation of oxides.

Is the process of a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light. This is a chemical property often associated with flammable materials.

Is a chemical reaction in which a compound is broken down by water. It plays a role in the digestion of food in our bodies and the breakdown of certain substances in the environment.

Some substances can form solid particles when mixed in a solution. This can be observed in chemical reactions, such as the formation of a solid when two aqueous solutions are mixed.
