Knowledge database: Basics: Physical and chemical properties The physical properties of matter are manifested when the physical state of matter changes. If these properties don't depend on the size of the sample, they are called intensive. Some of the basic intensive physical properties are melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, electrical and thermal conductivity, state of matter, etc. Corrosion is a chemical property which is typical for iron (left), but not for gold (right).
