CHANGES in matter Two types of changes: Chemical and Physical
CHANGES in matter PHYSICAL Changes: Only physical properties are changed. It is still the same substance. For example: If I paint a volleyball blue…it is still a volleyball. Only the physical property of color has changed.
CHANGES in matter CHEMICAL Changes: Chemical properties are changed along with physical properties. This results in the creation of a NEW substance with all new properties. You cannot easily get back the original substance. For example: Spoiled milk… no longer milk!!!
