Properties and Measurement of Matter
Matter exhibits distinct properties that are classified into two main categories:
1. Physical Properties
These can be observed or measured without changing the chemical composition of a substance.
Examples: colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, density.
2. Chemical Properties
These involve a change in chemical composition due to a chemical reaction.
Examples: burning of coal to form carbon dioxide and combustion of magnesium to form magnesium oxide.
Measurement of Properties:
- Many properties of matter are quantitative (measurable).
- Measurement is a comparison with a standard unit, which is fixed, reproducible, and universally accepted.
- A quantitative measurement has two components: a number and its unit.
Example: 10 m (10 = number, m = metre, the unit for length).
Common systems of units:
- CGS: centimetre-gram-second
- FPS: foot-pound-second
- MKS: metre-kilogram-second

SI Units and Base Quantities
- In 1960, the General Conference on Weights and Measures adopted the International System of Units (SI units) based on the metric (decimal) system.
- SI units provide a universal standard for scientific measurements.
Seven SI Base Units:
| Base Quantity | Symbol | SI Unit | Unit Symbol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length | l | metre | m |
| Mass | m | kilogram | kg |
| Time | t | second | s |
| Electric Current | I | ampere | A |
| Thermodynamic Temperature | T | kelvin | K |
| Amount of Substance | n | mole | mol |
| Luminous Intensity | Iᵥ | candela | cd |
All derived units (e.g., speed, area, volume, density) are formed from these seven base quantities.
