Here's the breakdown:
* Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Examples include:
* Color
* Odor
* Density
* Melting point
* Boiling point
* Solubility
* Conductivity
* State of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
* Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances or how it changes its composition. Examples include:
* Flammability
* Reactivity with acids
* Ability to oxidize or reduce
* pH
In simpler terms, physical properties tell you what a substance *is like*, while chemical properties tell you what a substance *does*.
