A compression wave is transmitted by motion or particles. Sound is a compression wave that travels through gases, liquids and solids by moving atoms/molecules/particles which in turn bump into neighbouring atoms/molecules/particles.

Which of the following descriptions would not be considered a chemical property of the substance?

Margaret [11]

Answer: D. sugar dissolves when placed in water.

Why:
Chemical properties/changes produce NEW substances.

This results in the conclusion that when sugar dissolves in water, it is a physical property, NOT chemical.
