Answer:
The ability to decompose
Step-by-step explanation:
A property is a chemical property when it changes the chemical structure of a substance after a reaction.
Density and color are both physical properties.
Even though melting point may seem like a chemical property, when something melts, only the physical state changes, and the chemical structure does not change, and therefore, is a physical property.
The ability to decompose is a chemical property. When something decomposes, the chemical structure of many molecules change, and therefore, is classified as a chemical property.
