Yes, a crushed can has chemical properties. They are the same as those of the can before crushing. Crushing a can is a physical reaction and not a chemical one. For instance, if a soup can is made of steel, the steel can be chemically attacked by something like sulfuric acid. And this is true whether the can is crushed or not.

Physical because you are doing it yourself which makes it physical. If it were to be chemical you would have to burn the can so it is physical.

Crushing does not change the can into something else. It's still a can, so it's just a physical change.
