Is there a way to decide whether a chemical is a gas or liquid just by looking at its physical properties?

If the property can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance, then it is a physical property. If the property can be observed only through a chemical reaction, then it is a chemical property.

Yes there is. Look at your definitions of liquid and gas. They are different enough to tell each other apart even if your not looking at them.

Can you tell the chemical properties of a can by looking at a picture whether it is a tin can aluminum can or a crushed can?
No. In order to tell what the chemical properties of the crushed can would be, you would have to have it in person in order to analyze it and come up with the chemical properties.
Is reacting with vinegar a physical or chemical property?
chemical i think vinegar with bicarb produces co2
How do physical and chemical property's change when element becomes a compound or a mixture?
When elements combine to form compounds than the properties of elements are not pre demoninantly the same in them whether chemical or physical while in the form of mixture elements retain their properties.
Is food physical property and chemical property?
Food is not a property. Food is a general description of matter that is edible can be eaten) the various chemical substances that make up food have both physical and chemical properties. Whether something is edible or not depends on both physical and chemical factors.
Is the fact of matter being poisonous a physical property or chemical property?
poisons are substances that affect the biochemistry of an organism. So the chemical properties of a substance will affect whether or not it is a poison

Is gas physical or chemical at room temp?
This question makes no sense. All substances, whether solid, liquid, or gas have both physical and chemical properties at virtually all temperatures.
What are physical properties and what are some examples?
Chemical properties: flammability, reactivity with a specified substance, radioactivity, enthalphy change of formation, whether it is acidic or basic (pH)Physical properties: melting point, boiling point, density, color, electrical conductivityFor more of chemical and physical properties, see the two related links below under "Sources and related links".
How would you compare physical and chemical properties and physical and chemical changes?
physicals change is like it changes shapes and other things while chemical change can depend on the color change whether it bubbles or smokes etc.

Compare physical and chemical properties?
A chemical property is the substance's response to other substances, resulting in a new substance. A physical property is something like a substance's lustre, melting point, boiling point, colour, or density, to name a few. Examples of chemical properties are: combustibility and reaction to acid.
Sulfur has a bright yellow color is this physical or cheimical property?
Its colour, its melting point, its boiling point, whether it is magnetic or not, whether it is an electrical conductor or not and its atomic mass are all physical properties.

Do the properties of a substance change if the substance changes from a liquid to a gas?
Well, one of a substance's properties is whether it's a liquid or a gas or a solid. This is a physical property. If you mean chemical property, then no, it doesn't change with a change of phase.
Is mercury liquid at room temperature physical or chemical?
Mercury metal is a liquid at room temperature. By visually determining the physical state of a substance does not produce a new substance. So if the mercury is a liquid that means it underwent a physical change because nothing was added.
