Question

1. of the properties listed below for the metal magnesium, which would be a chemical property?

□ melting point: 651°c
□ silvery - white solid
□ ignites when heated
□ density: 1.738 g/ml

Explanation:

Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo a chemical change or reaction. Melting point, color, and density are physical properties (observable without altering the substance's chemical identity). Igniting when heated involves a reaction with oxygen to form new substances, so it is a chemical property.

Answer:

☑ ignites when heated
