Conductivity is a physical property because the identity of the substance does not change.
Explanation:
A physical property of a pure substance is anything that can we can observe without changing its identity.
Electrical conductivity is a physical property. A copper wire is still copper while it is conducting electricity.
A copper wire transfers heat from one end to the other, but it still consists of copper at every point.
