Is it physical or chemical? page 135
Physical Change Any change in size, amount, shape, or state/phase of matter. nothing new is created Ex.) melting a block of ice, cutting a piece of paper in half (Skip 2-3 lines!)
Chemical Change substances change into new substances with different properties (= Chemical Reaction!) The original substance no longer exists Substances that undergo chemical change easily (like alkali metals) have a high reactivity Ex.) Digestion, spoiled food, explosives, and rust (Skip 2-3 lines)
To identify a change as Physical or Chemical, ask, “Did a Chemical Reaction occur?” If “no” Physical Change If “yes” Chemical Chemical ***How do we know if a chemical reaction occurred?
