<em>Answer:</em>
<em>Chemical properties:</em>
Those properties which change the chemical nature of matter.
<em>Example:</em>
- Heat of combustion
- Enthalpy of formation
<em>Physical properties:</em>
Those properties which do not change the chemical nature of matter.
<em>Example</em>
<em>Differences between chemical and physical properties:</em>
Chemical properties Physical properties
1. Observed after the change bringing 1. Observed with out being
the change change
2. These changes the molecules 2. only change physical state
3. Chemical identity changes 3.Chemical identity not changes
4. Structure of material changes 4.Structure of material not change
5. Chemical reaction is needed 5. No need of Chemical reaction
6. depend on composition 6. Does not depend on composition
Answer:
Explanation:
Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.
A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.
On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.
