What is a Physical property # WAEC Tutor Online
A physical
property is a property, quality or way that an object is. A physical property
can always be measured without changing or making the object chemically
different or
different in a way that would effect its chemical or atomicstructure. There are two types of physical properties: intensive and extensive.
Intensive
physical properties do not depend on how much of the object there is. For
example, a small rock will be just as hard as a large rock.
hardness, softness
and speed (quickness) are intensive physical properties.
Extensive
physical properties change depending on how much of the object is.
For
example, a small rock weighs less than a large rock. Volume, total mass, and
weight are extensive physical properties.
Physical
Properties also include when a Physical Change occurs.
