Changes in Matter:

Physical vs. Chemical

Changes

PHYSICAL CHANGES
 Is any change in the
size, shape, or state of
matter.
 The substances
involved in a physical
change do not change
their identity. Some
physical processes can
easily return to their
original form. Physical
changes can thus be easily
reversed. The changes in
physical state, size and
shape of a substance are
physical changes.
CHEMICAL
CHANGES
  is the transformation
of one material into
another, resulting in new
materials with different
properties and one or
more new substances. 
CHARACTERISTIC OF
CHEMICAL CHANGE
1. A chemical change
results in the
 formation of one or
more new substances
2. A chemical change is
a permanent change.
A chemical change
 usually cannot be
reversed.
3. A large amount of
energy (in the form of
heat, light, and sound)
is either absorbed or
 released during a
chemical change.
4. A chemical change
may cause a change in
smell or the release of
a new smell.
5. A chemical change
may result in a
permanent color
change.
6. A gas can be formed
as a result of a
chemical change.
