What makes physical properties different from chemical properties? Choose the correct answer O A) Physical properties relate to elements rather than compounds B) Physical properties appear only after a chemical change occurs. C) Physical properties describe elements in the solid state rather than in the liquid or gas state D) Physical properties can be observed without attempting to change the identity of the substance

Matter has two basic properties physical properties and chemical properties which of these statements best describes physical properties
Madhur L.
The following are properties of substances. Decide whether each is a physical property or a chemical property. A. Chlorine gas liquefies at $-35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ under normal pressure. B. Hydrogen burns in chlorine gas. C. Bromine melts at $-7.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. D. Lithium is a soft, silvery-colored metal. E. Iron rusts in an atmosphere of moist air.
Physical properties of matter can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. The phases of matter are physical properties. Solids are different from liquids and gases primarily because they have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.
