Short answer: Most of those (burn, rust, explode, corrode, spoil, combust) refer to chemical changes or chemical properties; "condense" is a physical change/property.

More detail:
- Burn / combust: chemical change. Combustibility (flammability) is a chemical property — the substance’s ability to react with oxygen (or another oxidizer).
- Rust: chemical change (oxidation of iron). Oxidizability/corrosiveness are chemical properties.
- Explode: usually a chemical change when caused by a rapid chemical reaction (explosives). “Explosiveness” is a chemical property in that context; if an explosion is purely mechanical (e.g., a pressure vessel rupturing) it’s a physical event.
- Corrode: chemical change. Corrosiveness is a chemical property (chemical attack over time).
- Spoil: generally a chemical/biochemical change (breakdown by microbes or reactions). Resistance to spoilage is related to chemical stability/preservability.
- Condense: physical change (gas → liquid). Condensation is a physical process and relates to physical properties (boiling/condensation point), not a chemical property.

Note: “Chemical property” properly describes an ability to undergo a chemical change (flammability, reactivity, stability, oxidizability, explosiveness, corrosiveness). Terms like “burn” or “rust” name the change; the corresponding property is the tendency (flammability, oxidizability).
