Chemical properties are those which pertain to the kinds of chemical reactions which a given substance undergoes. For example, whether a given material is flammable or inflammable is a chemical property. Wood will burn, water won't burn. A physical property is any other measurable property such as density, color, tensile strength, flexibility, phase (solid, liquid, or gas) and so forth.
