Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.
A physical property is one which can be measured or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.
Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.
A copper wire is still a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still an aluminum rod during the whole process.
