Igneous rocks which form by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the Earth are called extrusive rocks. They are characterized by fine-grained textures because their rapid cooling at or near the surface did not provide enough time for large crystals to grow. Rocks with this fine-grained texture are called aphanitic rocks. The most common extrusive rock is basalt.

What happens to the chemical and physical properties of a substance formed in a chemical reaction?

The chemical properties of a substance change during a chemical reaction, meaning the substance undergoes a chemical change and forms new substances with different properties. The physical properties may also change, such as color, texture, or state of matter.

What the difference between a physical property and a chemical property?

physical properties are those that can be seen or measured without changing a material. chemical properties tell how the substance forms new substances when it mixes with something else.


Is a susceptibility to rust physical properties?

Yes, susceptibility to rust is related to the physical properties of materials, particularly metals like iron and steel. Rusting occurs when these metals react with moisture and oxygen in the environment, leading to oxidation. The physical properties, such as the metal's composition, surface condition, and environmental factors, influence how easily rust forms. Therefore, susceptibility to rust can be considered a result of both physical and chemical properties.
