Difference Between Chemical and Physical Properties

Chemical Physical

Chemical properties are properties that can be observed or measured when a substance undergoes a chemical change. Physical properties are properties that can be observed without bringing a chemical change.

A chemical reaction needs to be conducted to show the property. No chemical reaction is needed here.

Chemical properties are connected to chemical bonds of a substance. Physical properties do not have such relationship.

It can be used to predict how substances react. It is mostly used in identifying or describing the substance.

Chemical properties of a substance can include buoyancy, viscosity

Compressibility, radioactivity, toxicity, flammability, heat of combustion, reactivity between chemicals, etc.

Examples of physical properties include:

Molecular weight, boiling point, melting point, freezing point, volume, mass, length, density texture, colour, odour, shape, solubility, etc.
