Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone. Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs. The Primary Navigation handles the first 2 levels of site pages. The Secondary (which is not always available) handles the 3rd and 4th level of structure. The Page level navigation allows you to navigate the current page's headings quickly. The Header Navigation contains the Light/Dark Mode toggle, Search, Notifications and account login. The Breadcrumb Navigation contains the breadcrumb of the current page. If the current page has a breadcrumb, you can get to it by skipping to the content and tabbing in reverse (shift plus tab). The Footer Navigation contains links such as Privacy, Contact, about and terms. Some resources contain an Audio Player that can be activated by holding down the T key for 3 seconds, and then using K to pause and resume. While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us.

Chemical vs. Physical Properties - Questions 5 Help

Substances are identified by the properties that they exhibit. There are two broad classes of properties - chemical properties and physical properties. The chemical properties of a substance describe how that substance reacts (or doesn't react) with other substances. On the other hand, the physical properties of a substance describes characteristics and qualities of that substance that are independent of the manner in which it reacts with other substances.

There are three questions in this Question Group. Each question is very similar to one another. The question below is one of the questions.

Version 1:

One of these property types is not like the others. Which one doesn't belong?
 

Chemical vs. Physical Properties

Two of the properties are physical properties and the other is chemical property ... or vice versa. To know which property falls into which category, study the infographic below.
