Question

physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance. examples of physical properties: color, size, shape, texture, state of matter, mass, weight. choose the correct answer. which of the following is a physical property of the flower? the way the flower makes someone feel, the dna of the flower, the texture of the flower’s petals

Explanation:

To determine the physical property of the flower, we analyze each option:

• "The way the flower makes someone feel" is a subjective emotional response, not a physical property of the flower itself.
• "The DNA of the flower" involves the flower's genetic material, which is a biological (chemical) property as it relates to the flower's internal molecular structure and requires biochemical analysis to observe.
• "The texture of the flower’s petals" is a physical property because texture can be observed (by touch or sight) without changing the flower's chemical composition or identity. Physical properties like texture, color, size, etc., are characteristics that can be noted without altering the substance (the flower, in this case).

Answer:

The texture of the flower’s petals
