Yes there is a difference. The rock's properties encompasses both the physical and the chemical properties of the rock.While the physical properties of the rock addresses only the physical characteristics of  the rock such as hardness, and lustre.

There is adifference. The properties of a rock refer to the chemical and structural make-up of a rock. In contrast, the physical properties of a rock refer to the categories such as the hardness, color,and unconfined compressional strength amongst others.
