Physical Change • Definition: • The object changes, but the substances that make –up an object (composition) remain the same. • You have the same substance before and after the change. Nothing new has been created.
Physical Change – Change in State of Matter • objects changes from one state to another (solid to liquid, liquid to gas) • Examples: ice cream melting, water boiling, water evaporating, ice forming
Physical Change – Change in Size or Shape • object is torn, cut, wrinkled, bent, dissolved, stretched • Examples: tearing paper, dissolving sugar into tea, stretching a rubber band, denting metal
Chemical Change • Occurs when the make-up an object (composition) have been changed • The atoms rearrange to make something new • Change is difficult to reverse
Chemical Change: Color Change • A new color is formed • Example: apple turns brown, iron turns red when it rusts, bleach changes color of clothes
Chemical Change - Temperature • 2 objects combine and produce an increase or decrease in temperature • Examples: Wood burns to ashes
Chemical Change: Formation of a Precipitate • 2 liquid objects are combined to form a solid.
Chemical Change: Formation of Gas • When a solid and a liquid object are combined and a gas is formed • Bubbles indicate the presences of a gas • Examples: vinegar and baking soda are combined, CO2 is made
These are NOT chemical changes! • Water boiling in a pot • Water heated • Food coloring added.
Physical or Chemical? • Digesting Food • Ice melting • Formation of rust • Crushing a soda can • Log burning • Cutting paper
