A student investigates a solid copper sample by recording four distinct characteristics: a density of 8.96 g/cm³, a reddish-brown metallic luster, a melting temperature of 1085 °C, and the tendency to form a green surface patina upon prolonged exposure to moist air. The student classifies these observations into physical and chemical properties based on whether observing or measuring each characteristic alters the chemical identity of the substance. Which of the recorded characteristics represents a chemical property of the substance?

B) Melting temperature of 1085 °C

C) Tendency to form a green patina in moist air

D) Reddish-brown metallic luster
