Question

what is the similarities and differences of physical and chemical properties

Answer 1

Answer:

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

Answer 2

The similarities and differences of physical and chemical properties are given below:

Similarities:

• Both chemical and physical properties describe the state of matter.
• To convert the physical or the chemical properties of a matter, heat is either gained or lost.

Differences:

• Chemical properties depend on the type of chemical bond among the constituent atoms while physical properties depend on Vander Waal's forces of attraction among the atoms.
• A chemical reaction is necessary to demonstrate a chemical property while no chemical reaction is needed in the case of physical properties.
