Physical And Chemical Properties Of Matter. The physical and chemical properties of matter (summary) last updated; Physical property gasoline is flammable.
Matter has mass and volume, as demonstrated by this concrete block. Chemical property a banana is yellow. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight, and volume.
Physical properties are those that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance.
Physical properties can be determined without changing what it's made of, and chemical properties can only be determined by changing its composition. In contrast, chemical properties are those that can only be observed and measured by performing a chemical reaction, thus changing the molecular structure of the sample. In other words, there is no chemical change. Physical properties matter has mass and volume, as demonstrated by this concrete block.
