Question 1
Both physical and chemical properties are used to describe matter. Physical properties (like color, shape) and chemical properties (like reactivity) are characteristics of matter.
Physical properties are easily observable (e.g., color, texture) without changing the substance's chemical identity. Chemical properties require a reaction to observe, so they are not easily observed. So physical properties are easily observed.
Five senses (sight, smell, touch, etc.) are used to observe physical properties (like color, odor, texture). Chemical properties need a reaction, so we can't use senses directly for them. So physical properties are determined by senses.
