Which example best demonstrates the benefit of understanding physical properties?

Engineers can design safer structures because they understand flammability of building materials

Engineers can design better bridges because they know how metal changes shape

Scientists can easily classify mixtures of unknown substances

Scientists can predict how well two substances will react

Respuesta :

I'd assume the second one because all the others deal with a chemical property. Not 100% sure. Please let me know. :)

Answer:  Engineers can design better bridges because they know how metal changes shape.

Explanation:  Physical Properties are those properties which are also regarded as observable because they can be easily seen or observe through naked eyes like melting point etc.

These are those properties which do not change chemical identity of the species.

Thus out of the given options, only physical property is the change of shape of metal.

And the rest one represents the chemical property as chemical property are the one which changes the chemical identity of the substance.
