Physical+and+Chemical+Properties

//Properties// are characteristics that are unique to each substance and allow us to distinguish that substance from others. These properties can be described as physical or chemical.

Characteristics that can be observed without making changes to the composition of the substance; you can physically observe these properties with your senses, or in some cases by changing the temperature. The changes such as melting or a change in shape can be easily reversed in most cases. Some examples
 * Physical Properties:**


 * states of matter
 * color
 * size
 * odor
 * density
 * conductivity
 * smell
 * freezing point
 * boiling point
 * melting point
 * temperature



Characteristics that can be observed while a substance is undergoing a reaction, and a change to their internal structure is made. It is also in many cases irreversible and if not, it is extremely hard to reverse. Some examples include
 * Chemical Properties:**
 * flammability
 * toxicity
 * reactivity
 * heat of combustion
 * reactivity with water
 * PH
