A physical property is observed with the senses and can be determined without destroying the object. For exam- ple, colour, shape, mass, length and odour are all examples of physical properties.
A chemical property indicates how a substance reacts with something else. The original substance is fundamental- ly changed in observing a chemical property. For example, the ability of iron to rust is a chemical property. The iron has reacted with oxygen, and the original iron metal is changed. It now exists as iron oxide, a different sub - stance.
