Why are somethings odorless?
Odor is a human sense (or an animal sense), if you lack the organs for detecting it, then a substance is "odorless" ... to you. Note that (for us mammals) a substance must be in vapor form to be detected, thus solids lack odor in general, while heating intensifies odor.

Why isn't a substance's melting point boing point or freezing point considered a chemical property?
Chemistry can be a tough subject but I will try my best to answer your question thoroughly. A substance can have chemical and physical properties. Physical properties do not change the substance chemically whereas chemical properties change the chemical nature. A good example is H2O (water) it's boiling point is 100°C (212 °F) and freezing point 0°C (32 °F). When water is boiling it is still H2O and the same when frozen. It only changes its physical state (Gas/Liquid/Solid). Hope this makes sense and helps.
