What is 'flammability'?

• Whether a substance will burn when exposed to a flame

• How poisonous or damaging a chemical substance may be to an organism

• The likelihood of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction

• The measure of how easily a substance will burn in oxygen

How can you determine if a property is chemical?

• If it can be identified without changing the substance

• If it can only be identified by changing the substance

• If it involves the reflection of light

• If it involves the overall dimensions of an object

Which property can be identified without changing the substance?
