Chemical Properties

Chemical properties refer to the characteristics of a substance that become evident during a chemical reaction. These properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances, indicating its reactivity, stability, acidity or basicity, flammability, and other behaviors when exposed to different elements or compounds. Examples include how iron rusts when exposed to oxygen and moisture or how vinegar reacts with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide. Understanding these properties helps predict how substances will behave in various situations, which is crucial in fields like chemistry, materials science, and environmental science.
