"A chemical property is the property of a substance that describes it's ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one ore more NEW substance."
- Nelson Science Peerspectives Textbook
If you decide to toss your jeans into the fire they will burn causing a new substance we commonly know as ashes. So this means that the jeans had a chemical property, combustibility or flammability, that changed its compostion to produce a new substance.
Making the properties, combustibility and flammability, both chemical properties.

2. The quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly
thanks,

my pH is 4136594 is you have questions
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoFlammability and combustibility are chemical properties because they cause chemical changes, and can only be observed during a chemical change.

∙ 12y agoA chemical property is how one substance reacts or doesn't react with another. Flammability and combustibility are the ability of a substance to undergo an exothermic reaction with oxygen.

The experimental approach taken in current biological investigations presumes that?
living organisms can be understood in terms of the same physical and chemical laws that can be used to explain all natural phenomena.
Explain what an element is?
Elements are materials that can not be separated into other distinct substances by chemical means. One of their most fundamental characteristics is that every atom in an element contains the same number of protons it its nucleus. This number is called the "atomic number" of the element.
What is an easy way to explain prophase?
Prophase is the first stage of any cell division (excluding interphase). This is the stage where a cell prepares it for upcoming cell division. Further properties can be found in books and elsewhere.
Explain the chemical basis for why there can be so many diffrent types of organisms in the world?
Because some of the chromosomes inherited from parent cells make your genes and thAt makes everyone different.......BODIL40
Did Bohr's model of the atom explain hydrogen's flammability?
Bohr's model of the atom doesn't explain hydrogen's flammability.
Explain the difference between chemical properties and physical properties?
physical property happens by itself or from things in nature. chemical property happens by outside.
Can matter undergo changes in both its physical and its chemical properties Explain please?
No.
Is the property of copper a physical or a chemical property explain?
Copper has both chemical and physical properties. You will need to specify which property you are asking about
Explain how the properties of outer shell electrons affect metals?
Thrse electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
Explain what a chemical change is?
a chemical change is a change which brings about a change in the chemical properties of a substance which cannot be reversed through physical means like heating or cooling.
Explain how elements in the same group are similar?
They have the same outer electron structure and thus similar chemical properties.
How could you best explain chemistry?
Chemistry is the science who study matter from the point of view of composition, stucture, chemical properties and chemical reactions, synthesis, etc.
What is the difference between water's cohesive and adhesive chemical properties and explain how each property benefits life on earth?
We are not going to do your homework !
Which foam has the best overall properties Explain your answer?
Which foam has the best overall properties? Explain your answer.
How are physical and chemical properties of matter useful?
Physical and chemical properties of matter are useful because they can help you identify that substance. For example paper burns very easily and aluminum doesn't, this is how they can be described individually.
How will you identify the physical properties from chemical properties of water?
1 = when we mix the water with the benzene or any other non polar solvents it does"t miscible with that, this is a chemical reaction from this reaction we can say water has polar properties 2 from above we can say water is polar , in polar solvents inter atomic attractions are more due to this it has high MP like these we can explain all properties
