Observing Change
Physical Change | A situation in which there is no change in particles, just the particle arrangement and energy. |
Chemical Change | A situation in which a chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed. During a chemical change energy may be released or absorbed. This means chemical changes are usually very difficult to reverse. |
Reactants | The chemicals that react together during a chemical reaction. |
Products | The substances formed from chemical reactions. |
Example of Physical Change | Melting Chocolate |
Example of Chemical Change | Burning a Match |
Example of a Chemical Reaction | carbon+oxygen->carbon dioxide reactants product |
Chemical Reaction | Atoms rearranging to form a new substance, |
Indications of the Occurrence of a Chemical Reaction | Colour changes, temperature changes, emitted light and gas bubbles. |
Law of Conservation Mass | Mass cannot be created or destroyed, so during a physical and chemical change there is no change in overall mass. |
