Answer and Explanation:
There are two properties of matter which all substance are distinguished by, they are "physical properties" and "chemical properties."
Physical Properties: include size, shape, color, texture etc. The melting point and freezing point are also physical properties. Every substance has some physical properties that are different from those of other substances (how is wood different than metal or plastic?). Physical properties can be changed, sometimes permanently and sometimes irreversibly. For example, when ice melts the water can then be refrozen but when wood is burned many of its atoms leave as gas (carbon dioxide and water vapor), and the match cannot be put back together to its original state.
Chemical Properties: characteristics that have to do with the chemical makeup of a substance, or how it reacts with other substances. An example of this is when water and vinegar are added to separate portions of baking soda, evidence of different chemical properties can be observed as carbon dioxide begins to bubble up from the baking soda mixed with vinegar but not from the portion to which water had been added. During a chemical reaction a new substance is formed with new and different properties than the original substances.
