Answer:

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

Answer:

A physical property and physical description are similar because the changes in a physical property of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states.

A physical property is is defined as any property that is measurable, and also whose value describes a state of a physical system.

Examples of physical properties include;

density,

hardness,

melting and boiling points, and

thermal conductivity

A physical description is observed physical properties usually represented by a specific class, compound or elements.

Both physical property and physical description are similar because the changes in a physical property of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states.
