chemical property is a characteristic that can only be seen when the material changes and a new material is formed. Examples of chemical properties are ability to burn, ability to rust and ability to sour. So a chemical property of wood is its ability to burn. When it burns, it gets hot and changes to ash. A physical property is a characteristic that can be seen or measured without changing the material. Examples are odor, color, shape and texture.
The principle physical properties of wood are strength, hardness, stiffness and density. Dense types of wood are usually hard and strong. The term strength covers a number of different properties. Strength varies greatly with seasoning and with the direction of the grain; wood is much stronger when cut along the grain than when cut across it. Toughness is a measure of strength against sudden, repeated stress. Wood is naturally very durable. If not attacked by living things, it can last for hundreds or even for thousands of years.

∙ 11y agoA physical property would be density, which depends on the type of wood. A chemical property would be the ability to burn.

∙ 11y agophysical property is it floats in water.
chemical property is it gets burnt.

What are some of the physical and chemical properties of a pencil?
Physical properties- long, yellow, sharp, graphite lead, solid, metal, wood Chemical properties-flammability, reactivity to acid
Does a mixture have one or two sets of chemical properties?
it has 2 sets of chemical properties
One difference between the properties of charcoal and wood?
the difference between the properties of charcoal and wood is the properties of wood is fuel and the properties of charcoal is the substitute left from wood
What are the chemical properties of LPG?
Physical and chemical properties of LPG
How can you separate 2 things that are next to each other in mixtures?
The answer depends on what the 2 things are made from, and their physical and chemical properties. If, for example, they were salt and sugar you would have a hard time but if they were iron nails and chips of wood it would easy.
Is wood a chemical properties?
No wood is not a chemical property.
What are 2 examples of 2 chemical properties?
What are 2 examples of a Chemical Properties
What are 3 chemical properties of wood?
solid hard brown
When wood burns the ashes have different chemical properties from the wood. true of false?
Of course, it is true !
Chemical Properties for wood?
Wood burns. So, a chemical property could be that certain chemicals in wood react vigorously with oxygen. Burning is a chemcial change, and reactivity with oxygen is a chemical property.
What are some of the physical and chemical properties of a pencil?
Physical properties- long, yellow, sharp, graphite lead, solid, metal, wood Chemical properties-flammability, reactivity to acid
Why rotting wood is a chemical change?
Rotting wood is a chemical change because the decomposed wood has different properties that cannot be reversed. Chemical changes alter the identity of a substance, whereas physical changes do not.
Is wood rotting a chemical change or physical change?
it is a chemical reaction because a new substance is formed when the wood rots
Does a mixture have one or two sets of chemical properties?
it has 2 sets of chemical properties
Properties seen when one substance changes to another are known as?
there are two types of change. the first one is the physical change. the form or appearance of the substance is change but the chemical properties of the substance is not changed. example, water evaporates into the air, that is a physical change because from liquid, water changes into gas but it then comes back to water as rain. the other one is chemical change wherein the chemical properties of the substance is changed. example is burning of wood. wood is burned and turned into charcoal. the chemical properties of wood is different from the chemical properties of charcoal and charcoal is another substance.
What is an example of a chemical change wood burning glass breaking water freezing?
The chemical change is the burning wood because the products, carbon dioxide, water, ash, and soot, have different physical and chemical properties. The other changes are physical changes because the physical and chemical properties of the substances did not change.
Build a raft describing the physical and chemical properties of the raft?
well, first of all you would need to know what the raft is being made of. take wood for an example. so you need to list the physical and chemical properties of wood. physical properties can be observed or measured. so one physical property of wood might be it's volume, or it's state, or it's strength, or it's hardness, or many other things that can be measured or observed. next you need to find the wood's chemical properties a chemical property describes how a substance changes into a new substance, either by combining with other elements or by breaking apart into new substances. so a chemical property of wood might be it's flammability, or it's reactivity.
