No. Physical properties are things like boiling point and hardness;
Chemical properties have to do with outer electron shells and how they're shared with other elements.

No, physical properties describe the characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its composition, such as color or density. Chemical properties, on the other hand, describe how a substance interacts with other substances to form new substances, indicating its ability to undergo chemical reactions.
Compounds with the same functional group can have similar physical properties, such as boiling point or solubility, due to similarities in their chemical structure and intermolecular forces. However, other factors like molecular weight or branching can also affect these properties.
Yes, elements can have similar properties if they are in the same chemical group or have the same number of valence electrons. This can lead to similarities in their chemical reactivity and physical characteristics.
The chemical properties of a substance change during a chemical reaction, meaning the substance undergoes a chemical change and forms new substances with different properties. The physical properties may also change, such as color, texture, or state of matter.
Physical properties are generally easier to recognize compared to chemical properties because physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Examples of physical properties include color, size, shape, density, and melting point.
Odor, color, density, and solubility are physical properties of a substance. These properties can be observed or measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance.
