Timber is a natural material with physical properties such as strength, durability, density, and elasticity. Chemically, timber is composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, giving it its unique properties. Timber is also subject to changes in properties due to factors like moisture content, temperature, and exposure to chemicals.
Physical and chemical properties change as the result of a chemical change, which produces new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.
A chemical reaction changes the chemical properties of substances involved by forming new substances with different chemical compositions. This can result in changes in physical properties such as color, temperature, odor, and state of matter.
physical or chemical changes.
Correct characterization of matter chemical properties is possible by experimental studies; but theoretical methods exist for the approximate calculation the values for some chemical and physical properties.
Every state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) has both chemical and physical properties. For example, a solid's physical properties include shape and density, while its chemical properties refer to its reactivity or ability to undergo chemical reactions. Similarly, a liquid's physical properties include viscosity and boiling point, while its chemical properties determine its ability to interact with other substances.
