A chemical property is one of the material properties that becomes apparent during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be made simply by changing the chemical identity of a substance. Simply put, the nature of chemistry can not be determined simply by seeing or touching substance; the internal structure of the substance must be strongly influenced by its chemical properties to be investigated. When a substance is under a chemical reaction, its properties will change drastically, resulting in a chemical change. However, the catalytic property will also become a chemical property.
Chemical properties can be contrasted with physical properties, which can be seen without altering the structure of the substance. However, for many properties within the scope of physical chemistry, and other disciplines at the boundary between chemistry and physics, the difference may be a matter of the researcher's perspective. Material properties, whether physical or chemical, can be viewed as supervenient; ie, secondary to the underlying reality. Multiple layers of superveniency are possible.
Chemical properties can be used to build chemical classifications. They can also be useful for identifying unknown substances or separating or purifying them from other substances. Material science will usually consider the chemical properties of a substance to guide its application.
