In the state of matter you can use all five senses without having to change the substance (physical property). With chemical property you are altering the substance so you are able to observe it.

∙ 8y agoWhen a substance melts, it changes state from solid to liquid. This does not alter the substance's chemical composition, so melting point is a physical property. Flammability means burning, and when a substance burns, it reacts with oxygen to produce a new substance that was not there before. This is therefore a chemical property.
