A physical property is a characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition, examples include color and melting point.
The property mentioned in the question refers to a physical property, which is a characteristic or property of an object that can be measured or calculated from other measurements. A physical property is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with any change in its chemical composition. Examples of physical properties include color, hardness, malleability, solubility, electrical conductivity, density, melting point, and boiling point.
Physical properties help us describe and identify substances. For instance, silver is known for its high electrical conductivity and malleability, meaning it can be molded into thin sheets, while salt is known for being dull, brittle, and able to conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Notably, chemical properties are different as they describe how matter changes form in the presence of other matter, resulting in a chemical change.
