For "Copper conducts heat well":
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity. Thermal conductivity (ability to conduct heat) is a physical property as it doesn't involve a chemical reaction or change in the chemical composition of copper. So this is a physical property.
Odor is a physical property because it can be perceived (observed) without altering the chemical structure of alcohol. No chemical reaction is required to detect the odor, so this is a physical property.
