chemical properties. Compare with physical property. Measurement of a chemical property involves a chemical change. For example, determining the flammability of gasoline involves burning it, producing carbon dioxide and water.
a property that involves change in the chemical nature of a substance
The phrase "chemical property" is context-dependent, but generally refers to a material's behaviour at ambient conditions (i.e. room temperature, atmospheric pressure, oxygen-bearing atmosphere). This property becomes apparent during a chemical reaction, and can only be observed by changing a substance's chemical identity.
