Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.
