Chemical Property A characteristic of matter observed during a chemical reaction, altering the substance's composition and identity. Chemical Reaction A process where reactants undergo a chemical change to form products with different compositions and bonds. Flammability A measure of how easily a substance can catch fire and sustain combustion. Toxicity The degree to which a substance can harm organisms, potentially causing adverse health effects. Corrosion The process by which a substance deteriorates materials, often through chemical reactions with the environment. Reactivity The tendency of a substance to undergo chemical changes in a reaction, often producing visible effects like bubbles. Radioactivity The emission of radiation from a substance as a result of changes in its atomic nuclei. Solubility The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, forming a homogeneous solution. Reactants Substances present at the start of a chemical reaction that undergo change to form products. Products Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, having different compositions from the reactants. Methanol A simple alcohol compound, often used as a solvent or fuel, with the formula CH3OH. Carbon Dioxide A colorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds, and by respiration. Water Vapor The gaseous phase of water, often produced as a byproduct in chemical reactions. Chemical Change A process where the composition and identity of a substance are permanently altered.
