The 5 clues to a chemical change are:

  1. energy (heat or light) is given off, or heat is absorbed
  2. there is a precipitate (which means a solid has formed at the bottom of a solution)
  3. the change is hard to reverse or irreversible
  4. there are bubbles which means a gas is being released
  5. the solution turns a different colour

To be 100% certain that it is a chemical change, at least 2 or 3 of these things must happen.

What is the differs between physical property and chemical property?

The way I remember the difference, is: a physical property is a property that you can observe without changing it (or observe without a chemical reaction). So properties like melting point, boiling point, density, color, hardness are all physical properties. A property like 'reacts with water' could only be observed by performing the reaction to observe the change.

Is it true Chemical properties aren't as easy to observe as physical properties?

Yes, physical are on the outside and can be observed in a matter of seconds, whereas chemical properties have to be tested, which can take as long as years
