Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical properties describe the characteristic ability of a substance to react to form new substances; they include its flammability and susceptibility to corrosion. All samples of a pure substance have the same chemical and physical properties.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical property is the ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions and form new substances. Chemical properties can also help identify a substance. Some examples of chemical properties are the ability to rust, corrode, decompose, burn, or react.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical properties are characteristics that can only be measured or observed as matter transforms into a particular type of matter. Reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust are among them. The tendency of matter to react chemically with other substances is known as reactivity.

Detailed explanation-4: -A change in which one or more new substances are formed is called a chemical change. A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of chemical properties include flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity (many types), and heat of combustion.
