a. Gold is shiny- physical property
b. Gold melts at 1064 °C- physical property
c. Gold is a good conductor of electricity- physical property
d. When gold reacts with yellow sulfur, a black sulfide compound forms- chemical property
Work Step by Step
luster, melting/ boiling point and conductivity of electricity are considered physical properties. Hence a, b, and c are physical properties.
Chemical properties are those that describe the ability of a substance to change into a
new substance. Hence d is a chemical property.
