A chemical property describes the behavior of a substance as it undergoes a chemical change or reaction, while a physical property describes the characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its chemical identity. Chemical properties involve changes in composition, while physical properties involve changes in appearance, state, or size. Examples of chemical properties include reactivity, flammability, and acidity, while examples of physical properties include color, density, and melting point.
