What are physical property and a chemical property?

Answer 1

A pysical property is like this: You take a stapler and bang it on the counter. It would be a broken stapler but it is still a stapler. It is still metal. Or even if you sawed it in half. It is still metal but it is metal in two pieces. A chemical property is like this: You take a block of wood and burn it. It is now ash. You have changed the material. Chemical changes are rarely reversable. You have taken wood and changed it into ash.

Answer 2

A chemical property can only be observed during a chemical reaction in which the substance in question changes chemically.

A physical property can be observed without a chemical reaction, in which the substance does not change chemically.

Answer 3

Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition, like color, density, and melting point. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts or undergoes changes to form new substances, such as reactivity with other chemicals or flammability.
