Physical and Chemical Properties

Every substance has unique physical and chemical properties that can be categorized. Physical properties include characteristics such as colour, odour, melting point, and density, which can be observed without altering the substance’s composition. Chemical properties, like combustibility and reactivity with acids, require a chemical change to be measured.

The measurement of physical properties is quantitative and involves a number and a unit of measurement, such as length in meters. The metric system, based on the decimal system, was established in the late 18th century and became the standard system of measurement globally in 1960. This system is more convenient than the English system for scientific investigations
