Physical properties describe what a substance looks like or how it can be measured without changing what it is. Examples include luster (shiny or dull), hardness, ductility, malleability, conductivity, density, solubility, melting point, and boiling point.
Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts and changes into something new. Examples include flammability, radioactivity, being an oxidizer, corrosiveness, toxicity, explosiveness, and pH (how acidic or basic a substance is).
In short:
Physical properties tell how a substance looks and behaves, while chemical properties tell how it reacts and changes.
