Question

An example of a physical property is

A. melting point.

B. boiling point.

C. density.

D. solubility.

E. all of the above

Answer 1

Is C the correct answer?

Answer 2

pysical properties are properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter.

Answer 3

If it's not a physical property, it's a chemical property, and they do change the chemical nature. Examples are pH, Heat of combustion, water reactivity etc

Answer 4

So C is correct, but it's not the only correct answer :)

Answer 5

So all of the above is the correct answer?

Answer 6

yes \(\Huge ☺\)

Answer 7

In simple terms, physical properties are what make a substance change its "physical appearance" hence the word "physical property". All of those choices are factors that can cause a substance to change its form/structure.

Answer 8

Thanks a lot!

Answer 9

For example, if you melt something, say cheese to a desired temperature, it would change its form and become deformed. That should give a basic idea of what physical properties are.

Answer 10

And no worries, glad I could help you understand.

Answer 11

An example of a chemical change would be burning the cheese :P
In that case the chemical property is flamability or heat of combustion :)

Answer 12

Burning it would change the chemical structure, and also the physical structure

Answer 13

Thanks a lot!!! :)
