Changes and Properties Physical, Chemical, and Nuclear
Physical Change • Form or appearance changes, but the properties of the substance are the same (same melting point, chemical composition, etc.)
Chemical Changes • Identities of substances change during a reaction and new substances form
Nuclear Changes • Nucleus of the atomchanges to form new elements
Evidence of Chemical Change • 1. Release of a Gas • 2. Formation of a Precipitate (powdery solid) • 3. Release or Absorption of Energy (heat or light) • 4. Color Change **Chemical Reactions
Properties • Property – characteristic (way to describe) an object or substance
Physical Properties • Those properties that we can determine without changing the identity of the substance we are studying • Examples: • Hardness • Color • Melting Point • Density
Chemical Properties • Describe the way a substance can change or react to form other substances • Examples • Flammable • Reacts with ______
