A property of matter that describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties | Chemical property |
A property of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identiy of the matter | Physical property |
A change that occurs when one or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with differenct properites. | Chemical change |
