a

Why it exists.

b

How it tastes only.

c

How a substance looks or feels.

17

What do chemical properties help identify?

a

Its color in light

b

How a substance could react with other substances.

c

18

Do scientists use both physical and chemical properties when identifying materials?

a

Only chemical properties are used.
