Properties

What are the properties of matter?

Properties or physical and chemical properties are considered as a key to understanding chemical elements (atom, molecule), substances, or matter present in our earth’s environment in science.

  • Fundamental physical properties of matter are appearance, color, order, atomic weight, molecular weight, density, etc.
  • Chemical properties include ionization energy, electron affinity, hydration enthalpy, electronegativity, chemical bonding, etc.

In this category, we discuss various topics related to the physical and chemical properties of atoms, molecules, and chemical compounds.
