question 2 / 14
is the following a chemical or physical property of matter?
luster
(how shiny something is)
a. chemical
b. physical
Physical properties of matter are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity. Luster (how shiny something is) is a physical property because it describes the appearance of a substance and does not involve a chemical reaction or change in the substance's chemical composition. Chemical properties, on the other hand, relate to how a substance interacts with other substances to form new substances (e.g., flammability, reactivity). Since luster is an observable physical characteristic, it is a physical property.
