Chemical.

Physical properties are easily identified as things you can see and feel: colour, roughness, density, malleability etc

Chemical properties are properties that are considered in a reaction. So a chemical's oxidising ability is a chemicalproperty

Oxidation is a chemical reaction in which one element combines with oxygen, which is also an element. For example, when iron (Fe) oxidizes, it combines with oxygen (O) and forms a type of iron oxide, a substance commonly known as rust, Fe2O3.
