Physical properties are things like shape, color, boiling point and melting point temperatures, mass, volume, density, conductiivity..... Chemical properties deal with how a material reacts in the presence of another material.  For example: sodium in the presence of chlorine produces a violent, bright, heat releasing reaction.  The product is sodium chloride, table salt.  Some elements are more reactive than others.  Some like Noble gases don't like to make any reactions.

Color, odor, acidity,Physical Properties:These are the characteristics that can be oberserved without changeing the substance into another substance. Melting point, boiling point, odor, color, taste, solubility, density, hardness, softness, volatility, ductility, malleability, viscosity, physical state, heat conductivity, and electrical conductivity are all physical properties. For example, to determines the melting point of ice, we must change the ice to water. Chemical Properties:These are the characteristics that can be observed when the subtance undergoes a change in its coompisition. The ability of water to undergo a precess called electrolysis is among its chemical properties. A change in compisition occures when an electric current is passed through a cintainter of liquid water (H2O), and the water is broken down to yield the gases hydrogen (h2) and oxygen (O2).

Chemical - oxidation - rusting or burning, and flammability Physical - mass, volume, hardness, state, malleability, ductility, melting point, boiling point, crystal form, solubility, conductivity, magnetic, and malleability
