Answer: This is the process of chemical change. Examples of chemical properties are flammability (a material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen) and reactivity (how easily a material combines chemically with other materials).

Explanation: Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust. ... Flammability is the ability of matter to burn. Burning of wood is a chemical change as new substances which cannot be changed back (e.g. carbon dioxide) are formed. For example, if wood is burned in a fireplace, there is not wood anymore but ash. ... Special details which do not change in a substance without new substances being formed are called physical properties.
