Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. Reactivity is the ability of matter to combine chemically with other substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more other substances. For example, the ability of iron to form rust when combined with air is a chemical property of iron. The inability of a substance to combine with another substance is also a chemical property.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical Change. Chemical changes occur when bonds are broken and/or formed between molecules or atoms. This means that one substance with a certain set of properties (such as melting point, color, taste, etc) is turned into a different substance with different properties.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chemical reaction occurs when two or more substances are combined to form a new substance and cannot be separated back into its original substances.
