Distinguishing between physical and chemical properties may seem confusing, but it's pretty simple if you remember a physical property and a chemical property are related to chemical and physical changes.
A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular weight and volume.
A chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance. This property measures the potential for undergoing a chemical change. Examples of chemical properties include reactivity, oxidation states and flammability.
