Question

Cydni has a sample of matter for which she wants to determine its CHEMICAL properties. What is the best experiment she can do to do this? 1 point A. determine its reactivity to metals B. determine its ability to conduct heat C. determine its ability to conduct electricity D. determine its ability to melt

Answer 1

The key to answering this question is in the word ‘chemical’. Chemical properties of a substance relate to the molecular structure. The best way to investigate the chemical properties of a substance is to study its chemical reactivity to other substances. Therefore, answer A: ‘determine its reactivity to metals’, is correct.
