melting is a physical change. freezing is also a physical change. the only thing that changed was the state of matter.

a chemical change for example is buring, the substance changes to co2 and h2o.

What are examples in physical change?

Examples of physical changes include melting an ice cube, boiling water, bending a metal spoon, or crushing a piece of paper. These changes do not alter the chemical composition of the substances involved, but rather only their physical state or appearance.


What is a change in matter where its identity does not change?

A physical change is a change in matter where its identity remains the same. Examples include changes in state (solid to liquid), size (cutting a piece of paper), or shape (bending a metal rod).


The tarnishing of metal is an example of a?

chemical change where the metal's surface reacts with oxygen and other compounds in the environment, forming a new substance that alters the metal's appearance.


How does the density of the metal in the crushed can compare with the density of the metal before the can was crushed?

The density of the metal in the crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before it was crushed. Density is an intrinsic property of a material that does not change with physical alterations like crushing. So, the density of the metal in the can will not change due to the crushing process.


How is a physical change different than a chemical change?

A physical change is different than a chemical change, because in a physical change, the composition of the matter did not change. While in a chemical change, the composition of the matter did change.SO basically, the composition of the matter does not change is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change.yes

Is water condensing a chemical change?

No, it is a Physical Change. Physical Changes are concerned with energy and states of matter. A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (condensation, melting, freezing, vaporization, sublimation) are physical changes. Other examples of physical changes include crushing a can, melting ice, and breaking a bottle. Chemical changes take place on the molecular level. A Chemical Change produces a new substance. Some examples of chemical changes include combustion (burning) and rusting of a metal.


Is a piece of metal a physical change?

I think dhatt the answer is a physical change because if you just bent it then surley you can unbent it and still have a piece of metal.


What are examples of chemical and physical change?

melting any metal is physical. rusting iron is chemical


How do you know that something has been though a physical change clues?

The clue for a physical change is that it only changes in a "physical" way, but it is still the same chemically. Ice melting (still water). Metal bending (still metal). Glass breaking (still glass).


Which of the following could cause a physical change in a solid piece of sodium metal?

Heating the solid piece of sodium metal can cause a physical change by melting it into a liquid. Cooling the liquid sodium back to its solid state would also be a physical change.


A metal melts at 450 degrees celsius is the property of the metal classified as chemical or physical property?

chemical. when it melts, it doesn't mean it changed into a new substance. it just changed physical states! it is still a metal. physical state is a physical property of any substance, so when it changes physical state, as in changes to liquid, solid or gas, it is still the same substance.


List 3 physical changes?

a physical change is anything that can be undone. for example: -melting an ice cube (the water can be refrozen into the ice cube) -bending a piece of metal (the metal can be bent back into shape) -moving a block from one place to another (it can be moved back)

Why is melting metal a physical change?

Melting metal is a physical change because it does not change the composition of the metal. The metal goes from a solid state to a liquid state, but it is still the same substance with the same chemical makeup.


Is bending a change to metal physical changes?

Yes it is most definitely!
