Since Alai is hitting each with a hammer, the physical property which he must be comparing on the two materials must be hardness. Solubility can be tested when you put them in a solvent. Odor can be tested with smell. Conductivity can be tested with electricity. Hardness can be tested with its resistance to the force that hits it.
It will be the second one
