Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

-Physical properties, these usually involve a change in the state of matter

-Chemical properties. these involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.

Now, physical properties can be further classified as:

Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume

Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point

A physical property that does not describe a change in state is color. For example: copper sulfate is a compound which is a blue in color. Thus, color provides information which describes the appearance of matter. In contrast, properties like melting or boiling point suggests a change in the state of the substance.
