What is a physical change and physical property?

Physical changes are changes that do NOT change a substances chemical composition, and do not cause a chemical reaction. Cutting, painting, and bending something are examples of physical changes. Physical properties are measurable properties that describe a physical characteristic, such as color, flexibility, brittlenes, etc. It also includes changes of state from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc, and an objects boiling point and melting point.


As a objects' temperature increases its' particles move?

As an object's temperature increases, its particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. This increased movement results in higher temperatures and can cause changes in the object's physical state, such as melting or boiling.


What change involves a change in one or more physical properties?

It's called a physical change.


What does heat cause the particles in matter to do?

Heat causes the particles in matter to gain kinetic energy, leading them to move faster and further apart from one another. This can result in expansion of the substance, changes in phase (such as melting or boiling), or other physical alterations.


Is wax melting a chemical or physical or chemical property?

Physical change. The wax was solid and now it is a liquid. All phase changes are physical changes.


What is a phyisical change?

A physical change is a change in the form or appearance of a substance that does not alter its chemical composition. Examples include changes in state (e.g., melting, freezing) or changes in shape or size.


How do you cause a physical change?

A physical change does not create a different chemical compound. Grinding a brick into a fine powder is a physical change. Freezing water is a physical change. Melting wax is a physical change.


What conditions does physical change occur in materials?

Physical changes in materials occur when the material undergoes a change in its physical properties without any change in its chemical composition. Examples of conditions that can cause physical changes include changes in temperature, pressure, or exposure to light or electricity. Physical changes can include changes in state (such as melting or freezing), changes in shape or size, or changes in properties (such as conductivity or solubility).


What are the effects of adding heat and are they reversible?

Adding heat to a substance can cause it to change in various ways, such as melting, boiling, or burning. These changes are usually reversible if the substance is not permanently altered by the heat.


Does boiling an egg cause it to lose protein?

Boiling an egg doesn't cause loss of protein, it does denature the protein and changes its form (changes from clear and runny to hard and white).


Why does matter undergo changes?

Matter undergoes changes due to interactions between its particles, such as collisions, chemical reactions, or changes in temperature, pressure, or energy levels. These interactions can cause rearrangement of the particles or changes in their properties, leading to physical or chemical changes in the matter.


How do heating and cooling cause physical changes in matter?

Heating and cooling change the state of the matter. For example, at room temperature water is a liquid but if you heated it becomes steam; a gas. If you freeze it it becomes ice; a solid. Hope it helps xx
