A physical property can be found without changing the composition of the substance. when you are finding the density of an object, you simply have to divide the object's mass by its volume. There is no chemical change occurring.

Is a pellet of sodium is sliced in two a chemical property or physical property?

Slicing a sodium pellet in two is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the sodium. Chemical properties relate to the substance's ability to undergo chemical reactions, while physical properties pertain to characteristics such as size, shape, and state of matter.


When matter changes state what is a chemical property?

A chemical property is a characteristic of matter that describes its ability to undergo a chemical change or reaction. These properties determine how a substance will react with other substances and can only be observed during a chemical change, not a physical change like a change in state.


Is melting a physical or chemical property of sulfur?

Physical - because melting isn't a change in it's chemical structure, it has just changed its physical state of matter. Generally (but not always) physical changes are reversible (can be taken back) but chemical ones cannot be reversed easily.


Is a melting wax a physical or chemical property?

Melting wax is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the wax when it transitions from solid to liquid state. The process just involves a physical change in the state of matter.


Is gasoline a chemical or physical property?

Colourless is a property, or word to describe matter, however the "gas" would be something you're describing. However, if a reaction is omitting a colourless gas, it could be considered a physical property of the reaction.
