Physical Property

Real World Example

Imagine trying to pick the ripest apple at the grocery store without cutting it open. Just like you can judge an apple's ripeness by its color and firmness without altering the apple itself, physical properties allow us to observe a substance's characteristics without changing its identity. In this analogy, the apple's color and firmness are like the physical properties of a substance, allowing us to gather information without transformation, much like assessing ripeness without slicing the fruit open.
