1. Chemical and Physical Properties

2. Physical properties
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into another substance.
(You can see it without changing what you’re looking at into something else.)

3. Physical Properties - Examples
Examples physical properties include:
Volume
Mass
Weight
Size
Density
Melting point
Boiling point
Density = mass per volume

4. Physical Properties - Examples
Other physical properties include:
Color
Hardness
Odor
Taste
State of matter
Texture
Luster (shine)
Flexibility
Heat conductivity
Electrical conductivity
Solubility
Shape
Viscosity
Ductility
Malleability
Luster = shine
Flexibility = ability to move
Solubility = ability to dissolve in water
Viscosity = liquid thickness
Ductility = ability to stretch into a wire
Malleability = ability to form a thin sheet by hammering or rolling

6. Chemical properties
A Chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that can only be observed by changing it into a different substance.

7. Chemical properties - Examples
Examples of chemical properties include:
The ability to burn
Ability to tarnish
Ability to rust
Ability to decompose
Ability to react with other chemicals
Instability
Ability to do acid/base reactions
Tarnish = corrosion form over metal
Decompose = break apart chemically
Instability = the state of being likely to change
