Detailed explanation-1: -The change of one type of matter into another type (or the inability to change) is a chemical property. Examples of chemical properties include flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity (many types), and heat of combustion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust.

Detailed explanation-3: -Is Flammability a Chemical or Physical Property? Flammability is a chemical property, like corrosion resistance. The physical properties of a material, such as its hardness, density, melting point and thermal conductivity, don’t require the use of force or chemical alteration to measure or observe.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flammability as a Chemical Property Flammability is a measure of how readily a sample ignites or how well it can sustain a combustion reaction. You don’t know how easily something will burn until you try to ignite it, so flammability is an example of a chemical property.
