Are there ways to describe a substance that are not properties?

I suppose the only way for it to not be a property is if it a subjective comment for example: 'This chair is comfortable', 'Oxygen is nice', 'Copper Sulfate solution is a lovely colour'.
These opinions could be verified by looking at the properties of the substance. For example Oxygen IS nice because it it's properties allow it to be absorbed and then used inside our body for cellular respiration. Which is fundamental for life and thus one could prove that oxygen is 'Nice'.
Hope this helps :)

What properties of substances can you observe and how do these properties determine the usefulness or hazards of a substance?
You can observe physical, chemical, and characteristic properties of a substance and can be used to determine the usefulness of a substance by, giving us information about the substance usually using our 5 senses which are physical properties. Or being able to describe the substances ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances, chemical property. Or even just being able to identify whether or not the substance is pure or not can help us determine if the substance is hazardous or not. two other properties I did not mention were the qualitative and the quantitative properties.
Describe 2 physical changes?
The two types of physical properties are intensive and extensive. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an intensive property is density. Extensive properties do depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an extensive property is mass.

What is the differences between chemical and physical change?
A chemical change involves a change in a substance's chemical properties (characteristics that describe how it interacts with other substances).A physical change involves a change in a substance's physical properties(characteristics that describe certain features one can see with their 5 senses).
