Question

Elizabeth was studying physical and chemical properties and created the table below to help her. Which property and example does she have correct?



(1 point)

Melting point is a physical property. All other properties and examples in her table are correct.

None of the properties and examples in her table are correct.

Melting point and density are both physical properties. All other properties and examples in her table are correct.

Density is a physical property. All other properties and examples in her table are correct.

Answer 1

I don't see the table you mention — can you paste it or describe the rows (property and example) so I can check them?

Meanwhile, two quick facts that will help you decide:
- Melting point is a physical property (it describes a change of state without changing chemical identity).
- Density is also a physical property (mass per unit volume; no chemical change).

How to tell physical vs chemical:
- Physical property: measured/observed without changing the substance’s identity (e.g., melting point, boiling point, density, color, hardness, solubility, conductivity).
- Chemical property: describes how a substance reacts or changes into a different substance (e.g., flammability, reactivity with acid/water/oxygen, ability to rust, decomposition).

If you paste Elizabeth’s table I’ll mark which rows are correct and pick the right multiple-choice answer.
