Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others. The three states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas. The melting point and boiling point are related to changes of the state of matter. All matter may exist in any of three physical states of matter. In the graphic on the left the solid and liquid forms of water - ice are shown.
With chemical properties the chemical identity of the substance is changed, this is not the case with physical properties. With chemical properties the structure of the material changes, while the structure does not change in the case of physical properties. A chemical reaction occurs before a chemical property becomes evident, while no chemical reaction is needed for a physical property to become visible. Chemical properties, unlike physical properties, can be used to predict how substances will react. Table comparing physical and chemical properties
