Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Color, phase, odor and boiling point are the physical properties. Reactivity with oxygen depends on the chemical nature of object, thus, it is not a physical property. It is a chemical property.

Detailed explanation-2: -Boiling point is considered an intensive physical property because it does not depend on the amount of the substance.

Detailed explanation-3: -A substance’s boiling point is a physical property. For instance, when water (H2O) boils, so when it converts from a liquid to a gas or water to steam, it is still water. The chemical identity is still H2O. The chemical property hasn’t changed, only its physical property.

Detailed explanation-4: -Properties such as density, boiling point, melting point are physical properties and they can be observed or measured directly.
