A characteristic is something you can correctly say about an object, person, or substance. It sounds as if someone is trying to explain what 'property' means in chemistry or some other branch of science. I often say it means what a substance is like, or what it does. For instance, let us think about the metal gold. Here are a few things which describe it, these are its properties (or characteristics).
- it is yellow
- it is shiny
- it feels cold
- it is denser than water
- it does not react with dilute acids
- it does not react with alkalis.
- It is a good conductor of electricity.
