Physical properties have to do with properties that aren't chemical properties. Chemical properties have to do with the molecule's formula.

What is the difference between a chemical and physical property?

physical properties are those that can be seen or measured without changing a material. chemical properties tell how the substance forms new substances when it mixes with something else.


Can the chemical properties of a substance be observed without changing the substance?

physical properties


What is the difference betwwen physical property and chemical property?

Physical properties are the 'Measurable properties which describe the physical system's state', such as Density, Fusibility etc. Whilst 'Mechanical Properties' as it says in Collins CDT Design and Realisation book Pg 39, that a Mechanical property is a property which is the behaviour of the material when its linked to the application of force such as Strength.


Do chemical changes affect the chemical structure of a substance?

Yes, chemical changes result in a change in the chemical structure of a substance. During a chemical change, new substances with different chemical compositions are formed through the rearrangement of atoms and bonds. This is in contrast to physical changes, where the chemical structure remains the same even though the physical properties may change.


What are the difference between a substance's physical properties and its chemical properties?

Chemical properties involve reacting with another substance. IE: burning of magnesium requires oxygen after which it is no longer magnesium. Physical properties do not. IE: metals are malleable, some very malleable, like copper wire can be bent with your hand. BUT it is still copper wire.

Difference between chemical and physical change?

A chemical change is when the chemical properties of a substance changes and a physical change is when the chemical properties stay the same but the physical properties (shape, temperature etc...)


How can you tell the difference between physical and chemical properties?

You can tell the difference by knowing that a physical property changes shape and that a chemical property changes the substance.


What is the diffence between physical and chemical properties as well an physical and chemical changes?

Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of a substance. Chemical properties can only be observed by changing the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance does not change. In a chemical change, the chemical composition of the substance changes.


What are physical and chemical?

physical changes do not change the chemical properties of a substance


What is the difference between chemical and physical properties?

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


What is the difference between physical properties and chemical properties?

Physical properties of matter are those that can be seen or measured without changing the substance into something else. Chemical properties tell how the substance forms new substances when it reacts with something else.


Are properties such odor color density and solubility physical or chemical properties?

Color and density are physical properties. Odor and solubility are chemical properties.


Compare and contrast chemical and physical properties?

Physical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance. Chemical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substance.


What happens to the chemical and physical properties of a substance formed in a chemical reaction?

The chemical properties of a substance change during a chemical reaction, meaning the substance undergoes a chemical change and forms new substances with different properties. The physical properties may also change, such as color, texture, or state of matter.

Explain the difference between chemical properties and physical properties?

Chemical properties describe how a substance can form new substances by undergoing chemical reactions, like flammability or reactivity. Physical properties describe characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance's identity, like color, density, or melting point.
