Odor of a substance is an example of which type of property?

The odor of a substance is classified as a physical property because it describes one of the characteristics of the substance that can be observed or measured without changing its chemical composition. Physical properties are attributes that can be perceived through the senses, such as color, texture, boiling point, and indeed, odor.

In contrast, chemical properties refer to how a substance interacts with other substances or changes into different substances during chemical reactions, such as flammability or reactivity. Mixed property and organic property are not standard classifications for properties in chemistry; a mixed property would typically refer to something that exhibits both physical and chemical characteristics but is not a widely recognized term, and organic property is not a term used in the context of classifying substance properties. Understanding the distinction between these types of properties is essential in the study of chemistry and material science.
