densityrelates the space that a material takes up to its mass
hardnessthe measure of a material's resistance to scratching

brittlenessthe measure of a material's tendency to shatter
malleabilitythe measure of a material's ability to be hammered into a thin sheet
tensile strengththe measure of a material's ability to be pulled and withstand breakage
ductileproperty of a metal that allows it to be pulled into a thin wire
conductivitythe measure of a material's ability to allow electricity to flow through it
buoyancythe upward force exerted by any fluid on an object placed into it
neutral buoyancyoccurs 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' Principlethe WEIGHT of the displaced fluid during displacement is exactly equal to the value of the buoyant force
viscositythe measure of a material's resistance to flow
