What are chemical and physical properties?

Answer 1

A physical property can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance. A chemical property can only be observed during a chemical change in which the chemical composition of the substance changes.

Answer 2

A physical property is like this:

You take a stapler and bang it on the counter. It would be a broken stapler but it is still a stapler. It is still metal. Or even if you sawed it in half. It is still metal but it is metal in two pieces.

A chemical property is like this:

You take a block of wood and burn it. It is now ash. You have changed the material. Chemical changes are rarely reversable. You have taken wood and changed it into ash.

Answer 3

A physical property is a characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed withous changing it into another substance. For example, a physical property of water is that it freezes at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.

A chemical property is a characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances. For example, a chemical property of methane is that it can catch fire and burn in air.
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.
Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.
The three states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas. The melting point and boiling point are related to changes of the state of matter. All matter may exist in any of three physical states of matter.
Physical properties- properties such as color, density, volume, and anything else that is observable to any of the five senses.
Chemical Property- a property such as chemical compound, or substance that is not observable to the five senses that depends on the actual substances in the compound.
Physical Property- Characteristic that can be observed, using the five senses, without changing or trying to change the composition of a substance.
Chemical Property- Characteristics that cannot be observed without altering the sample.
A physical property can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance. A chemical property can only be observed during a chemical change in which the chemical composition of the substance changes.

Noun1.physical property - any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions

property - a basic or essential attribute shared by all members of a class; "a study of the physical properties of atomic particles"

absorption factor, absorptivity - (physics) the property of a body that determines the fraction of the incident radiation or sound flux absorbed or absorbable by the body

dissolubility, solubleness - the property of being dissoluble; "he measure the dissolubility of sugar in water"

drippiness - the physical property of being soft and drippy

reflectivity, reflexion, reflection - the ability to reflect beams or rays

bending, deflexion, deflection - the property of being bent or deflected

temperature - the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity)

enthalpy, heat content, total heat, H - (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity equal to the internal energy of a system plus the product of its volume and pressure; "enthalpy is the amount of energy in a system capable of doing mechanical work"

randomness, entropy, S - (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work; "entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity"

perceptibility - the property of being perceptible by the mind or the senses

invisibility, invisibleness - the quality of not being perceivable by the eye

brightness level, luminance, luminosity, luminousness, brightness, light - the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light; "its luminosity is measured relative to that of our sun"

inaudibility, inaudibleness - the quality of not being perceptible by the ear

imperceptibility - the property of being imperceptible by the mind or the senses

reluctivity - (physics) the resistance of a material to the establishment of a magnetic field in it

sensitivity, sensitiveness - the ability to respond to physical stimuli or to register small physical amounts or differences; "a galvanometer of extreme sensitivity"; "the sensitiveness of Mimosa leaves does not depend on a change of growth"

magnetisation, magnetization - the physical property of being magnetic

elasticity, snap - the tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or compressed; "the waistband had lost its snap"

malleability, plasticity - the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped without breaking

inelasticity - the lack of elasticity

unmalleability - a lack of malleability

mass - the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field

weight - the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity

momentum - the product of a body's mass and its velocity; "the momentum of the particles was deduced from meteoritic velocities"

fugacity - the tendency of a gas to expand or escape

length - the linear extent in space from one end to the other; the longest dimension of something that is fixed in place; "the length of the table was 5 feet"

A Chemical property is a property of matter that describe a substances based on its ability to change into a new substances with different properties while a physical property cannot be change into a new substances with different properties
