  • Freezing point is the temperature at which matter changes from a liquid to a solid, while boiling point is the temperature at which matter changes from a liquid to a gas.

  • A chemical property is a characteristic that can only be observed when matter changes into a new kind of matter, such as flammability or reactivity.
