What is a characteristic propertie?

Answer 1

A characteristic property is a property of a solid, liquid or gas, which is unique to that substance. For example, its easy for us to tell the difference between water and milk, but what about water and another clear liquid which looks exactly like water. Simply massing the liquids won't do because two substances can have the same mass, instead, we must use characteristic properties to figure out if they are two different liquids. We could boil it (boiling point is a characteristic property) and see if they have the same boiling point (temperature). We could also freeze them and see if they have the same freezing point. Density, magnetism, Solubility, and more are all examples of characteristic properties. They are characteristic, because, quite simply, they are unique to one substance, meaning that only one substance has a density of 1g/cm3 (water).
A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample one is observing is large or small.
