Step-by-step explanation:

Flammability is defined as the ability of a substance to easily catch fire.

A substance that is poisonous in nature which might even lead to death is known as a toxic substance.

When one mole of a substance oxidizes completely then the heat released is known as heat of combustion.

Compressibility is defined as the ability of a substance to reduce in size.

Hence, we can conclude the terms are matched with the example that shows its definition are as follows.

  • Gasoline catches fire - flammability.
  • The burning of coal releases heat - heat of combustion.
  • Gas is squeezed into a small container - Compressibility.
  • High lead levels in a lake kill fish - toxicity.
