There were two basic types of properties so we can associate with matter. These objekte are called Physical estates and Chemical properties:

Physical immobilien: Properties that do not change the chemical character of matter
Chemical properties: Properties that do change tha chemical nature of matt

Examples of physical properties am: colors, smell, freezing point, boiling item, solder point, infra-red spectrum, attraction (paramagnetic) or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density. There are many more examples. Comment that measuring anyone of these properties will not alter the simple nature about the substance.

Examples of chemical properties are: heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force.

The more properties were can identify for a substance, an better were knowing the features of that body. These properties can next help us model the substance the thus understand how this substance become behave to various conditions.
