    Chemical Properties are internal properties which are not displayed peripherally..For example, Ability to combine with other substances, acidity or basicity of a substance etc..I think this link will be more useful to you..http://www.examville.com/populateListsForSubCategory.html?categoryId=2Try it out..

    Chemiscal properties determine what kind of chemical changes will take place.  For Example, Group 1 & 2 Earth Metals are VERY reactive and Group 18 Inert Gases are UNreactive.  Metals react with acids.

    Each element has chemical properties based on its atomic structure that determine how it will undergo chemical change as it reacts with other elements.

     Chemical Change occures when a new substance is formed.

    Chemical properties are when a new substance appears and it is not about just changing phases (e.g, H2O is not changing its formula even though it's passing through phases like solid, liquid, and gas).

    So, melting/boiling points are just physical properties.

    Examples of chemical properties: solubility, polarization, acidity,
    degree of iionization.

    here are some example of chemical change:

    • toasting of bread
    • mixing chemicals
    • rotten of fruit
    • cooking rice
    • explosion of fireworks
    • tarnishing silver
    • lighting a match
    • burning gas in a stove
    • rusting nail
