A chemical property and a physical property are related to chemical and physical changes of matter.
A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight and volume, specific heat, boiling point, hardness.
A chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemicalidentity of a substance.
This property measures the potential for undergoing a chemical change. Examples of chemical properties include reactivity, flammability and oxidation states, combustion reactions.
