Bulk properties are properties that relate to the material of an object, and are independent of the object's size or shape.
An example of a bulk property is , which is the mass per unit volume of a material.
The bulk properties of a material determine how it reacts to compression and stretching. Materials stretch or compress linearly with force exerted, following up to their .
There are lots of ways to define how strong a material is. For instance, diamond is very hard (resistant to scratching) but isn't very tough (can be crushed relatively easily).
Strength can be quantified using , which is the force exerted over a given area, and , which is the ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length. The ratio of these two values is called .
The maximum force an object can withstand before fracturing is its .
Materials can be described qualitatively using lots of different terms:
Many materials will show these properties at different extensions and under different forces.

Materials can be described qualitatively using lots of different terms:
- is an object's tendency to not return to its original shape after being deformed
- is an object's tendency to fracture with relatively little deformation
- is an object's ability to be stretched out into a thin wire without fracturing
Many materials will show these properties at different extensions and under different forces.
