Outlines
🔬 Understanding Physical and Chemical Properties
This paragraph introduces the concepts of physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are characteristics of matter that describe how a substance behaves physically, such as malleability (the ability of a metal like aluminum to be hammered into thin sheets), ductility (the ability to be drawn into wires, exemplified by copper), boiling point (like water turning into vapor at 100 degrees Celsius), frequency (the number of wavelengths passing a point per second, as in a 20 Hertz wave), viscosity (the resistance to flow, with honey being more viscous than water), and solubility (the ability of substances like salt and sugar to dissolve in water). These properties do not indicate how a substance will react chemically. Chemical properties, on the other hand, describe how a substance's chemical composition will change under certain conditions, such as flammability (gasoline's reaction to an open flame), radioactivity (atomic nucleus changes over time), corrosiveness (battery acid's chemical behavior), and oxidizing ability (stripping electrons from other substances). Examples given include flammable substances, radioactive materials, corrosive agents like battery acid, oxidizers, and explosives, which all exhibit chemical properties.
🔬 Distinguishing Between Physical and Chemical Properties
The second paragraph continues the discussion by providing examples to differentiate between physical and chemical properties. It challenges viewers to determine whether a list of properties are physical or chemical. Freezing point, combustibility, water reactivity (as seen with sodium metal's violent reaction when thrown in water), viscosity, and melting point are all identified as physical properties because they relate to a substance's physical state or behavior without changing its chemical composition. In contrast, properties like condensation point (water turning back into liquid at 100 degrees Celsius), pyrophoricity (ignition upon air exposure), corrosiveness (like battery acid), and toxicity are chemical properties because they involve a substance's chemical change or reaction. The paragraph concludes with a playful prompt for viewers to engage with the content, suggesting they 'click the little dezz nuts' if they like the video.

Millings and Today, We're Going to Learn About Physical versus Chemical Properties so let's Jump right in and Take a
Physical Properties it Says Right Here our Properties of Matter that described the Physical
Characteristics of A substance and not how the Substance behaves Chemically Alright so Physical Properties will Tell you how that
Substance behaves Physically but not Chemically for example if We said that aluminum Foil Is
Malleable what does that mean what Does the word Malleable mean Where well it means?
That the metal Is
Has the Ability to be Hammered Into thin Sheets so we can?
We Can Take Aluminium and Pound it down Into or Hammer it down Into thin Sheets so
That's Not, Telling Us how this Aluminium Foil is going to react With something Else that's Just Telling Us how
It's going to change Physical Form so malleability or malleable is a physical Property of Matter if We Take a look at Ductile or Ductility
That is the Ability of metal has to be turned Into wire for example if We Said Copper Is [matt] is Ductile?
That Would be a Physical Property of that of that Copper that's not Telling us how
It's going to Chemically react With something Else if We said The Boiling Point of Water Is a Hundred degrees Celsius
Boiling Point Is a physical Property it doesn't tell Us how that that Water Is going to react or change
Chemically Into Something Else it's Just Telling Us that at a Hundred degrees
This This Liquid
Substance Is going to turn Into
Water Vapor Which Is a physical Change all right if We said the Frequency of this wave iS 20 Hertz
Well then that Would Be a physical Property of This wave Frequency is the amount of Wavelengths that Pass A given Point Every Single
Second so that [Would] be a physical Property [if] We talked about the Viscosity of Fluids how some Fluids are
More Viscous Than Others for Example
Honey Is more Viscous Than Water as a higher Viscosity that, would be A
Physical Property of That and Last but not least Solubility
We said Salt and Sugar Are Soluble in Water that Is Going to be A?
Physical Property of Those Substances That Does not tell Us how the salt or sugar Is Going to behave
Chemically
[Alright] so Physical Properties Are Properties that describe the Physical Characteristics of a substance and not how this Substance behaves Chemically Let's Take A
Look Now at chemical Properties, okay
Chemical Properties Are A little Different Chemical Properties [Or] [Properties] of a substance [that] describe how
That Substance Is chemical Composition will Change given a Certain
Specific Set of Conditions
[Alright] so if We Take a look at A few examples of Chemical
Properties if I said Gasoline is Flammable
That Tells you how that Gasoline is going to react When Exposed to an Open Flame if We Said a substance, was?
Radioactive That Tells you how the Nucleus of that atom is going to change
Over Time if We said that something is corrosive Battery Acid is Corrosive?
That Tells you how that acid Is Going to behave Chemically if We Said that [A] chemical
Was A an Oxidizer which means that it has the Ability to Strip an Electron off Another Substance
Well that Would be A chemical Property of that Substance right so things like Flammability
Radioactivity
A substance Being an Oxidizer or corrosive These are all chemical Properties if We Said That oxygen is Combustible?
Once Again That tells Us how oxygen is going to react With an Open Flame
Right it's going to be Converted Into Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor if We said something is Toxic that too is A chemical Property?
If We said tnt is explosive That too? Would be A?
Chemical Property of That Substance and Last but not least if We Said that something is Pyrophoric that Means that that Substance
Has the Ability to ignite When Exposed to air so that will be A chemical Property as
Well so chemical Properties Are Properties of a substance [that] describe how that
Substances Chemical Composition will Change given a specific set of
Conditions so Let's Take a look at A few [examples] and See if You Can Determine Whether they are Physical or chemical Properties of Matter
All right Let's Take a look at this little List Here and Determine if They are Physical Or chemical
Properties and I advise that You go Ahead and Pause this Video at this Point and Work Through These Yourself See if you Can Figure
Out if These are Physical or chemical Properties so Freezing Point like
We just got [then] Saying that's going to be a physical Property [of] Matter
That's Not, Telling Us how, that's since Is going to change Chemically right if Something is Combustible
Well that's going to be A chemical change right if We Said That oxygen Is?
Combustible That Tells Us that oxygen
Over Time is going to change the Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor right if We Said that Sodium Metal Is
Water reactive Which it is when you Throw it in Water There's A very violent Reaction it's A
Chemical Change Has Taken place so that Water Reactivity, Would be A chemical Property of
Say Sodium
[Alright] if We said something as Viscous [that] Refers to?
Fluids Ability to Flow so that's Going to be a physical Property
If We said that [a] substance was Toxic that, also would be A I'm sorry that, Would be A chemical Property?
A condensation Point right if We Said that Water Begins to Condense and Turn Back Into
Our water [Vapour] condenses at 100 degrees Celsius and Turns Back Into Liquid that is going to be a physical Property
This is [A] cool, Property all right Something is Pyrophoric that means it ignites an Air that's Going to be A chemical Property
If Something is corrosive Like Battery Acid that's Going to be a chemical Property of That Substance and
Last but not Least
If We said that The melting Point of Ice is Zero degrees Celsius that [too] will be [a] physical [Property]?
That's Not, Telling Us how
That Ice is going to behave Chemically?
All right so that is a Physical and Chemical Properties in A nutshell if You like what you see go Ahead and Click the little
