Yes — all five are considered physical properties.
Quick definitions and notes:
- Physical property: something you can observe or measure without changing the chemical identity of the substance.
- Color: a physical property (can help identify a substance; sometimes reflects electronic structure).
- Temperature: a physical state variable that describes thermal energy; you measure it without changing composition.
- Density: a physical, intensive property (mass per unit volume).
- Volume: a physical, extensive property (amount of space occupied).
- Solubility: usually treated as a physical property (the amount of a substance that dissolves in a solvent at equilibrium). Caveat: if dissolution involves a chemical reaction (e.g., acid dissolving metal with reaction products), that behavior involves chemical changes and would be a chemical property.
If you want, I can give examples showing each property in practice.
