Preferred term

physical property  

Definition

  • A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. Physical properties are often referred to as observables. They are not modal properties. Physical properties are contrasted with chemical properties which determine the way a material behaves in a chemical reaction.
