Is butter melting on warm toast a chemical or physical property?

It is a physical property. A chemical property would involve the butter reacting to the toast, but the butter is actually reacting to the heat from the toast. The butter would melt against any surface hot enough, where as butter would not melt on cold toast. Hence, the reaction to heat makes it a physical property.
(A relatively easy way to remember is that physical properties deal with the transfer of physical energy or force such as heat, inertia, etc. Chemical properties occur when two material substances trade molecules or electrons.)
