How do chemical and physical properties differ?

chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance and physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.


Why is paper's physical properties different from water's physical properties?

There are a lot of reasons why paper's physical properties differ from water's physical properties.Paper is a solid, water is a liquid.Water is transparent, paper is not.Water flows smoothly, paper does not.etc.


How are isotopes alike?

Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.


How are physical properties differ from physical changes?

A physical change would be a change in a physical property. A "physical property", by itself, may or may not change.


If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?

Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.


The physical properties of a solution that differ from those of its solute and solvent include freezing point boiling point and what?

Conductivity


Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.


What are the chemical and physical property of paint?

Physical properties: paint is a thick colored liquid with a distinct smell. Chemical properties differ depending on the paint...poster paint, oil-based house paint and car paint have vastly different chemical properties, but they're all paint.


How do mixtures affect characteristic properties of matter?

A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the substance has the same properties, for instance mixture's physical properties, such as its melting point, may differ from those of its individual components.


Why is melting point a physical property?

It's a physical property because only the appearance changes, ie, the chemical properties are still the same. Ice and liquid water are chemically the same, but differ physically.


Do isotopes with the same elements have the same physical properties?

The physical properties are of course different. The chemical properties are considered identical but this is not a general rule; for example hydrogen isotopes (1H and 2H) have some different chemical and biochemical properties.


How does combining elements into compounds affect their properties?

The properties of the compound will differ from the properties of the elements of which it is made.
