What is real name of fools gold?
The scientific name is Iron Pyrite. Crushed Iron Pyrite is Greenish Brown and Real gold crushed is gold colored. Iron pyrite, a mineral composed of iron sulfide, FeS, is called fool's gold because it has the appearance (but no other properties) of gold.

What does physical properties mean?
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter
What are two physical properties that can that can vary when the substance with these physical properties that dose not change?
Temperature and amount of the substance do not change chemical properties.
Is pyrite sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
None of the above, actually. Pyrite is a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic substances. They have a distinctive chemical composition (Pyrite is iron sulfide), a crystalline structure (pyrite can form cubes, although is more often found as an irregular lump), and have distinctive physical properties (such as pyrite's metallic luster, which is why people mistake it for gold). Minerals are what comprise igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Pyrite is a mineral, so it is neither igneous, sedimentary, nor metamorphic.
What is the physical property that is used to find if its pyrite or gold?
I would say streak (Is that a physical property?). Gold has a yellow streak, pyrite a very distinguishable greenish-black to brownish-black. [A streak is obtained by scratching a mineral (or rock) on a streak plate (a white plate made of porcelain (floor tile-like), with a hardness of around 6.5 (Mohs scale)] If streak is not a physical property I would say hardness: gold has a hardness of 2.5, pyrite of around 6. I'm sure there are other usuable physical properties, as density for ex.
What test is most reliable for identifying pyrite and gold?
Mineralogists often use the physical properties of minerals to identify them. The most reliable test in order to identify a mineral is the test for hardness.
What physical differences between pyrite and chalcopyrite?
Pyrite is harder, heavier, and exhibits a conchoidal fracture as opposed to chalcopyrite's brittle fracture. Chalcopyrite also contains copper whereas pyrite does not.
