Question 32
Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity. Length, color, and conductivity are physical properties. Taste involves chemical interactions with taste receptors (a chemical change - related perception), so it's not a physical property.
Solubility is defined as the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent (like water). Density is mass per unit volume, matter is the substance itself, and electrical energy is a form of energy, not related to dissolving.
Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo chemical changes (reactions). Reacting with oxygen is a chemical reaction (e.g., oxidation), while color, freezing point, and hardness are physical properties (observable/measurable without chemical change).
