Magnetism, solubility, and malleability are physical properties of matter. What makes these properties different from chemical properties?

• Physical properties relate to elements rather than compounds.

• Physical properties appear only after a chemical change occurs.

• Physical properties can be observed without attempting to change the identity of the substance.

• Physical properties describe elements in the solid state rather than in the liquid or gas state.
