Which of the following is not an example of a physical property?
a.
freezing point
c.
reactivity
b.
boiling point
d.
density

Reactivity

Explanation:

A physical property are properties that define or describe the state of matter. This includes color, temperature, density, mass etc

Chemical properties involve a change in the composition of matter. This includes, heat of combustion, enthalpy of  formation etc

Based on the given examples:

Freezing point, boiling point and density are all physical properties associated with the state of a substance. These do not involve any change in composition. In contrast, reactivity is a chemical property as the composition of matter changes during the course of a reaction.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
