Physical Change | change in the physical properties of a substance, as size or shape |
Chemical Change | irreversible chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more substances and a change in their chemical properties or composition, resulting in the formation of at least one new substance |
Element | one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means. |
Chemical Formula | a representation of a substance using symbols for its constituent elements |
Element (diatomic) Molecule | Diatomic molecules are molecules composed only of two atoms, of either the same or different chemical elements. |
Compound Molecule | A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions |
