Every form of matter has two kinds of properties - physical properties and chemical properties.
Physical Properties
Physical Property - A characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance.
Example: Water freezes at 0° C and turns from liquid to solid. Even though the physical property changed, it is still water.

Solid, liquid, or gas are the ways to describe the physical properties of a substance. Whether or not a substance dissolves in water is a physical property as well.
