Which term describes a property that involves the ability of a substance to react with other materials to form a new substance?

• A. Physical change
• B. Mixture
• C. Chemical property
• D. Solution

Answer: (C)

This describes a chemical property—the way a substance reacts with other materials to form a new substance. It’s about how the material behaves in chemical reactions, which change its identity. A physical change would just alter appearance or state without making something new, while a mixture or a solution is about combining substances, not the intrinsic reactivity of one substance. So the term that fits the description is chemical property.
