Question

“When the atoms of a specific substance are regrouped, a new substance is formed with often vastly different properties from the original substance. Occasionally something completely harmless, or even necessary, can become dangerous or lethal when its molecules (a grouping of two or more atoms) are regrouped.” What does the word properties mean above?

Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics

Explanation:

When atoms mutate, the original characteristics, or properties change. Properties could also mean 'traits' which is a synonym of characteristics.
