Answer:
16. Porosity is the ability of the material to absorb water.
17. The ability of materials to be stretched and then return to its original shape is called elasticity.
18. A material that can easily be broken is called brittleness.
19. Hardness is the ability of a material to be rigid and cannot easily be broken.
20. The ability of a material to decompose is also known as biodegradability.
Explanation:
Materials have different properties. These properties are characteristics that will distinguish one material from other materials. Properties can either be physical or chemical properties. Physical properties are properties that can be observed without changing the identity of the material. Examples of these are flexibility, brittleness, ductility, hardness, or elasticity. Physical properties are further classified as intensive or extensive. Intensive physical properties are properties that will be the same regardless of the amount of matter. For instance, the object's color, density, elasticity are not affected by the amount. Extensive physical properties are those that will change if the amount of matter changes. For instance, the object's mass, volume, or length are affected by the amount of material.
Chemical properties, on the other hand, can be observed by changing the identity of the material. It describes the potential to do a chemical change or reaction. Examples of this are flammability, biodegradability, or corrosion.
