The three properties of addition are the commutative, associative and identity and here are the examples for each:
3+7=7+3 commutative (You can add two numbers in any order.)
17 + (9+3) = (17 + 9) + 3 (You can change the groupings of addends.)
10+0=10 identity (Any numbers plus zero equals that number.)

The "Zero Property" is actually called the Additive Identity Property. The additive identity is the unique number which, when added to any other number returns a sum which is the other number. 0 is the additive identity.
The Additive Inverse Property is that each nonzero number has a unique number which, when added to the number will return a sum of zero. (A more mathematical way to say this is that it will return a sum which is the additive identity.)
Examples: 23 + (-23) = 0 -(3/4) + (3/4) = 0 √3 +(-√3) = 0 - x2 + x2 = 0
The Commutative Property of Addition is that when two numbers are added together they will produce the same sum, regardless of the order of the two numbers.
Examples: 28.3 + (-12.7) = 15.6, -12.7 + 28.3 = 15.6
(1/3) + (3/4) = (13/12), (3/4) + (1/3) = (13/12)
What you are calling the 1 Property is the Multiplicative Property of Identity. It is not a property of addition. 1 is the identity for multiplication, just like 0 is the identity for addtion.
