  2. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A property having a fixed value for a given material or substance is called material constant or constant of matter. [1] (Material constants should not be confused with physical constants, that have a universal character.) A material property may also be a function of one or more independent variables, such as temperature. Materials properties ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Glass is a non-crystalline or amorphous solid material that exhibits a glass transition when heated towards the liquid state. Glasses can be made of quite different classes of materials: inorganic networks (such as window glass, made of silicate plus additives), metallic alloys, ionic melts, aqueous solutions, molecular liquids, and polymers.

  4. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    Exotic matter is a concept of particle physics, which may include dark matter and dark energy but goes further to include any hypothetical material that violates one or more of the properties of known forms of matter. Some such materials might possess hypothetical properties like negative mass.

  5. Material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material

    A material is a substance or mixture of substances that constitutes an object. Materials can be pure or impure, living or non-living matter. Materials can be classified on the basis of their physical and chemical properties, or on their geological origin or biological function.

  6. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    Metallic and insulating states of materials can be considered as different quantum phases of matter connected by a metal-insulator transition. Materials can be classified by the structure of their Fermi surface and zero-temperature dc conductivity as follows: [4] Metal: Fermi liquid: a metal with well-defined quasiparticle states at the Fermi ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    An intensive property does not depend on the size or extent of the system, nor on the amount of matter in the object, while an extensive property shows an additive relationship. These classifications are in general only valid in cases when smaller subdivisions of the sample do not interact in some physical or chemical process when combined.

  8. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties of matter. [ 78 ] [ 79 ] In particular, it is concerned with the "condensed" phases that appear whenever the number of particles in a system is extremely large and the interactions between them are strong.

  9. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.
