  • Understanding Physical vs. Chemical Properties: Non-Examples
    Absolutely! Here are some non-examples of physical properties, meaning they describe changes in the *composition* of a substance, not its inherent nature:

    * Flammability: This describes how easily a substance burns, a chemical change.

    * Reactivity: Indicates how readily a substance reacts with other substances, involving chemical transformations.

    * Corrosion: Describes the process of a substance being chemically attacked by its environment, like rusting.

    * Toxicity: The ability of a substance to harm living organisms through chemical interactions.

    * Digestion: The breakdown of food into simpler molecules by chemical reactions in the body.

    * Photosynthesis: The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, changing the substance of the plant.

    Key Takeaway: Physical properties are inherent and can be observed without changing the substance's chemical makeup. Non-examples involve changes in the chemical composition of a substance.
