The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample being observed is large or small. Examples of characteristic properties include freezing/melting point, boiling/condensing point, density, viscosity, and solubility.

A substance could have physical characteristics and chemical ones too, which are unique to the certain substance.

Color, odor, and how hard the substance, are all examples of physical characteristics of a substance.

Toxicity, flammability, and acidity, are all examples of chemical characteristics of a substance.
