Answer: The correct answer is:

- Before :

Physical: almost flat & cool to the touch

Chemical: flammability & change from kernels to fluffy popcorn

- After :

Physical: hot & increased volume

Chemical: inability of popcorn to change back into uncooked kernels & flammability

Explanation:

Physical properties are those that can be measured without affecting the composition or identity of the substance. Examples of these properties are density, melting point, boiling point, among others.

There are also chemical properties, which are observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change, that is, a transformation of its internal structure, becoming other new substances. These chemical changes can be reversible or irreversible, when the latter occur in only one direction (as in the combustion of wood).
