Physical properties are based on the laws of mechanics, acoustics, optics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, radiation, atomic structure, or nuclear phenomena.
Chemical properties and chemical change. Paper burns, irons rusts, and wood rots. In each case the object changes not only in physical apperance but also in its bassic composition. In a chemical change a sample of matter is transformed into completely different materials. The types of chemical changes that a material can undergo are determined by its chemical properties.
