Physical vs Chemical Properties

• Properties are specific characteristics that matter may have

• Mass and volume are examples of properties

• Other properties can include how it looks, feels, or reacts to other matter

• These are properties you can observe/measure without changing the identity of the substance

• For example, you can see the color, shape and size of an object

• Some changes are physical, like cutting paper; the paper is still paper!

• These are properties you can observe when a substance changes into a whole new substance.​​

• Flammability = can it burn?​

• Reactivity = d​oes it react with other substances?
