These are properties of algebraic structures with binary operations such as addition and/or subtraction defined on the set.
The identity property, refers to a unique element of the set with special properties with respect to an operation.
The commutative property states that the order of the operands does not matter. There are many algebraic structures where this property does not hold. The set of numbers with the operation subtraction or division do not have this property.
The associative property states that the order in which a repeated operation is carried out does not matter.
The distributive property is applicable when there are two binary operations defined on the set.

The multiplication properties are: Commutative property. Associative property. Distributive property. Identity property. And the Zero property of Multiplication.
Addition identity.
The commutative property
The identity matrix, which is a square matrix with zeros everywhere except on the principal diagonal where they are all ones.
Rings and Groups are algebraic structures. A Groupis a set of elements (numbers) with a binary operation (addition) that combines any two elements in the set to form a third element which is also in the set. The Group satisfies four axioms: closure, associativity, identity and invertibility. In addition, it is a Ring if it is Abelian group (that is, addition is commutative) and it has a second binary operation (multiplication) that is defined on its elements. This second operation is distributive over the first.
