Jamal Stokes · Answer 1

The insulating ability of a substance is a physical characteristic and not a chemical one. A physical property is a characteristic that distinguishes one type of matter from the other and can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. A chemical property describes how one substance changes into another in a chemical reaction.
