| A | B |
| density | relates the space that a material takes up to its mass |
| hardness | the measure of a material's resistance to scratching |
| elasticity | the measure of a material's ability to (1) return to its original size after stretching and (2) bounce without breaking |
| brittleness | the measure of a material's tendency to shatter |
| malleability | the measure of a material's ability to be hammered into a thin sheet |
| tensile strength | the measure of a material's ability to be pulled and withstand breakage |
| ductile | property of a metal that allows it to be pulled into a thin wire |
| conductivity | the measure of a material's ability to allow electricity to flow through it |
| buoyancy | the upward force exerted by any fluid on an object placed into it |
| neutral buoyancy | occurs when the buoyancy of the fluid exactly equals the weight of the object placed into it; object will stay suspended right where it is placed |
| Archimedes' Principle | the WEIGHT of the displaced fluid during displacement is exactly equal to the value of the buoyant force |
| viscosity | the measure of a material's resistance to flow |
