  • Chemical Property
    Observed only during a chemical reaction, indicating a substance's ability to change into a different substance with new composition.
  • Chemical Reaction
    A process where substances interact to form new substances with altered composition and identity.
  • Reactant
    A starting material present before a chemical reaction, which undergoes transformation.
  • Product
    A substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction, differing in composition from the starting materials.
  • Flammability
    Describes how easily a material can ignite and sustain combustion when exposed to a flame.
  • Toxicity
    Indicates the potential of a substance to cause harm or adverse effects to living organisms.
  • Corrosiveness
    Describes the ability of a substance to break down or destroy materials it contacts, often through chemical action.
  • Reactivity
    Represents the tendency of a substance to undergo chemical changes, often signaled by visible effects like bubbles or color shifts.
  • Radioactivity
    Refers to the emission of energy or particles from unstable atomic nuclei, often marked by a specific warning symbol.
  • Solubility
    Relates to how well a solid dissolves in a liquid, affecting the extent to which it is broken down by the solvent.
  • Chemical Change
    An irreversible process where the composition and identity of matter are permanently altered.
  • Composition
    The specific arrangement and types of atoms or molecules that make up a substance.
  • Identity
    The unique set of characteristics that define a substance, which can be altered during chemical reactions.
