Distinguish Between physical and chemical properties or changes in matter?

Answer 1

chemical properties of matter is matter based on its ability to participate in chemical reactions and form new substances .

chemical property of matter is chemical that do change the chemical nature of the matter.

there are also 2 chemical properties of matter:

1. Combustibility - How easily it will react/explode with another substance.

2. Reaction with Acid - Pretty much self explanatory...How it will react when combined with acid.

Answer 2

Chemical vs. Physical Changes

It is important to understand the difference between chemical and physical changes. The two types are based on studying chemical reactions and states of matter. We admit that some changes are obvious, but there are some basic ideas you can use. Physical changes are about energy and states of matter. Chemical changes happen on a molecular level.

When you step on a can and crush it, you have forced a physical change. The shape of the object has changed. It wasn't a change in the state of matter, but something changed. When you melt an ice cube you have also forced a physical change (adding energy). That example caused a change in the state of matter. You can cause physical changes with forces like motion, temperature, and pressure.

Chemical changes happen on a much smaller scale. While some experiments show obvious chemical changes such as a color change, most chemical changes happen between molecules and are unseen. When iron (Fe) rusts you can see it happen over a long period of time. The actual molecules have changed their structure (the iron oxidized). Melting a sugar cube is a physical change because the substance is still sugar. Burning a sugar cube is a chemical change. The energy of the fire has broken down the chemical bonds.

Some changes are extremely small. Chemical changes can happen over a series of steps, and the result might have the same number of atoms but have a different structure. The sugars glucose, galactose, and fructose all have six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms. Even though they are made of the same atoms, they have very different shapes and are called structural isomers. They each have different chemical reactions because of their molecular structure.

Answer 3

Physical properties: mass, density, hardness, electrical conductivity, melting point, boiling point etc.
Chemical properties: reactivity, flammability, heat of combustion, corrosivity etc.

Answer 4

Physical properties of matter can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance, such as color, shape, density, and boiling point. Chemical properties refer to the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change or reaction, such as flammability or reactivity with acids. Physical changes involve a change in the form of matter without changing its chemical composition, while chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different chemical compositions.

Answer 5

Physical properties: Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter Chemical properties: Properties that do change tha chemical nature of matter

Answer 6

Physical: density, charge

Chemical: reactivity, toxicity
