3 5 and 6 are wrong.

 

the process of cooking anything causes a lot of complex chemical reactions to occur. most aren't noticable and merely result in a slight augmentation of the flavour, the most obvious reaction in pancakes is that they become solid. this is due to proteins breaking down and sticking to each other.

 

luster is a physical property its to do with the physical characteristics of the electron shells in the atoms.

 

odour is the detection of chemicals in the nose. this is achieved by a reaction and is hence a chemical property rather than a physical one.
