Physical and chemical changes
By:Mackenzie Myers
Physical property
A characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into something else.
Example-color,smell,texture,ect.
Physical property are used to observe and describe matter.
The three states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas. The melting point and boiling point are related to changes of the state of matter.
Picture-A physical property of the broccoli is that it's green
Chemical property
A characteristic that is observed when a substance interacts with with another substance.
Example-flammability,heat of combustion,rusting
Atoms create Chemical properties.A chemical property is I defined by an objects ability to change given the right conditions
Picture-a chemical property of the match is flammability
Physical change
A change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not make the material into another substance.
Physical changes are related to physical properties since some measurements require changes be made
Example-melting a ice cube,boiling water,crushing a can
Chemical change
A change in matter that produces new substances
The five indicators are-change of color,change of odor,change in temperature,new substance formed, and gas produced
In a chemical reaction,the modules of one substance break apart and join together with another substance to create another compound
Example-mixing baking soda and vinegar together, baking a cake,rust of iron
