Physical properties

A

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.

Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.

19
Q

Chemical properties

A

A chemical property is any of a material’s properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance’s chemical identity.

20
Q

Physical change

A

A change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties

21
Q

Chemical change

A

A change that occurs when a substance changes composition by forming one or more new substances
