Question
which statement describes a physical property of copper?
it reacts with strong acids.
it can be reshaped by a force.
it ignites at high temperatures.
it can combine with oxygen.
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Reacting with strong acids, igniting at high temperatures, and combining with oxygen all involve chemical changes (new substances are formed). Being reshaped by a force (malleability) is a physical property as the chemical composition of copper remains unchanged.
