HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO CLASS? Balancing chemical equations-the product is a result of a compound which produces a brand-new substance In order to create allotropes, substances sometimes need to be heated up or cooled down which is an example of a physical property Because we have been studying the Periodic Table and understand how some of the elements are grouped, we can make connections to how some allotropes are formed
