__//** Physical Properties: **//__ Characteristics that can be observed without making changes to the composition of the substance; you can physically observe these properties with your senses, or in some cases by changing the temperature. The changes such as melting or a change in shape can be easily reversed in most cases.

__** Some examples: **__
 * states of matter
 * color
 * size
 * odor
 * density
 * dissolving
 * conductivity
 * smell
 * freezing point
 * boiling point
 * melting point
 * temperature





//__** Chemical Properties: **__// Characteristics that can be observed while a substance is undergoing a reaction, and a change to their internal structure is made. It is also in many cases irreversible and if not, it is extremely hard to reverse.

__ **Some examples:** __
 * flammability
 * toxicity
 * reactivity
 * heat of combustion
 * reactivity with water
 * PH
