Question

Select any four of the physical properites listed in Table 1.1 on page 22 and use them to describe: gold, sugar, water.

I don't quite understand what this question is asking. Maybe you could give an example?

Here is the table of physical properties as mentioned.

State - solid, liquid, gas

Colour - colour

Malleability - Ability to be beaten into sheets

Ductility - Ability to be drawn into wires

Crystallinity - Shape or appearance of crystals

Magnetism - Tendency to be attraced to a magnet

Solubility - Ability to dissolve in water

Conductivity - Ability to conduct electricity or heat

Viscosity - Resistance to flow

Density - Ratio of a material's mass to its volume

Meltiing/freezing point - Temperature of melting/freezing

Boiling/condensing point - Temperature of boiling/condensing

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not positive what the question is asking either, but here goes.
Choose sugar.
State: sugar is a solid.
color: white
solubility in water: yes.
ductility: not ductile
malleability: not malleable.
magnetism: not magnetic
but you only require four of them.
