C
physical change in matter
D
chemical change in matter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into other substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physical Property: Something that is observable and measurable without changing the substance (chemical composition). E.g. color, mass, temperature, density, texture, shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -A physical property is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition. Familiar examples of physical properties include density, color, hardness, melting and boiling points, and electrical conductivity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Physical properties of matter include color, mass, density, melting point, and odor. These are properties that can be observed or measured without changing the matter to a new substance. Physical properties differ from chemical properties such as flammability or reactivity.
