Characteristic Properties QUIZ

This is a 10-question characteristic properties quiz covering characteristic properties such as melting point, boiling point, density, etc. This quiz does NOT require the knowledge of different materials’ specific characteristic properties, rather it focuses on that characteristic properties do not change, and they can be used to identify materials. Questions mimic how standardized tests generally ask about this topic.
