Chemical propertyA chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal structure must be affected greatly for its chemical properties to be investigated. When a substance goes under a chemical reaction, the properties will change drastically, resulting in chemical change.
Bore250px|vignette|Cristaux de borax, un composé du bore. Le bore est l'élément chimique de numéro atomique 5, de symbole B. C'est la tête de file du groupe 13 du tableau périodique. Il fait partie, avec le lithium et le béryllium, des quelques éléments légers absents des principaux processus de nucléosynthèse (nucléosynthèse primordiale et nucléosynthèse stellaire). La présence du bore, en faible abondance, dans l'espace est imputable à la spallation cosmique (bombardement interstellaire d'éléments plus lourds par les rayons cosmiques).
Solide covalentA network solid or covalent network solid (also called atomic crystalline solids or giant covalent structures) is a chemical compound (or element) in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material. In a network solid there are no individual molecules, and the entire crystal or amorphous solid may be considered a macromolecule. Formulas for network solids, like those for ionic compounds, are simple ratios of the component atoms represented by a formula unit.
