Chemical and Physical Properties Quiz

What is the difference between a chemical property and a physical property?

• A chemical property describes how a substance can change or react to form new substances, while a physical property describes the characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its composition.

• A chemical property describes the weight of a substance, while a physical property describes its density.

• A chemical property describes the state of matter of a substance, while a physical property describes its boiling point.
