Physical properties are the basic features of a material that affects how it behaves in different situations. e.g. - Metal is a good conductor of heat
chemical properties describe how a subject looks and behaves.
The chemical formula for a substance shows how many atoms of each element are present in a molecule, or the proportion of atoms of each element.
The melting point is usually defined as the point at which materials changes from a solid to a liquid.
The boiling point is the temperature at which the substance transitions from a liquid to the gaseous phase.
The freezing point is the exact temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid.
Elements in the same group in the periodic table share chemical properties and will most of the time have similar outcomes - Word equations include: metal + water = metal hydroxide + water and metal + oxygen = metal oxide
