Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:
-Physical properties, these usually involve a change in the state of matter
-Chemical properties. these involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.
Now, physical properties can be further classified as:
Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume
Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point
A physical property that does not describe a change in state is color. For example: copper sulfate is a compound which is a blue in color. Thus, color provides information which describes the appearance of matter. In contrast, properties like melting or boiling point suggests a change in the state of the substance.
The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number meanwhile of an atom is equal to the number of protons of the atom.
Explanation:
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. Hydrogen's atomic number is 1 because all hydrogen atoms contain exactly one proton.
If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.
The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.
