You have been learning about chemical and physical properties in class. Your teacher asks you to make a Venn diagram that compares and contrasts physical and chemical properties. She provides you with the properties listed above to include in your diagram. Which properties would you classify as: chemical property only?

All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties are either intensive or extensive. ... Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity. Chemical properties can be measured only by changing a substance's chemical identity.

E.g. heat of combustion, flammability, corrosive, reactivity, toxicity, oxidation states.
