Solid – liquid =Melting liquid – solid =Freezingliquid – gas = Evaporation solid –gas = Sublimationgas-liquid = Condensation gas- solid =Compression • Viscosity - This is how thick a liquid is e.g honey and engine oil are more viscous than petrol • Volatility – this is the property of liquid that measures the degree of evaporation • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PHYSICAL CHANGE AND CHEMICAL CHANGE • PHYSICAL CHANGE CHEMICAL CHANGE • It is easily reversible It is not easily reversible • No new substance formed New substances are always formed • There is no change in the mass There is a change in the mass of • of substances involved substances involved • It does not involve any great heat It involve a considerable amount of • change heat change
