chemical property
a description of what a substance does as it changes into one or more new substance(s)
examples of chemical properties
neutralization, flammability, bleaching ability, corrosion
physical change

melting evaporation condensation
chemical change
the change that a substance goes through to produce a new substance
possible evidence of a chemical change
new colour appears, precipitate, heat or light is produced or absorbed, bubbles, the change is generally difficult to reverse
element
