What is a description of a reaction using chemical symbols?

It is called a chemical equation. The reactantsengage in a chemical change and result in different chemical products being created. Some reactions have catalystswhich undergo no net change after the reaction.


What chemical change takes place when an iron nail rusts?

Bonds are formed between some of the iron atoms in the nail and oxygen atoms from the air.


How is a chemical property different from a physical property?

Chemical properties describe how a substance will undergo chemical reactions and with what. Chemical changes are when one or more substances change to some other substance or substances.


What is the difference between physical and chemical property?

A physical property is any aspect of an object or substance that can be measured or perceived without changing its identitywhile Chemical property of matter describes its "potential" to undergo some chemical change or reaction by virtue of its composition.


Indicates how likely an element is to undergo a chemical change?

Some indicators of a chemical reaction are: - change of color - change of odor - release of a gas - change of the temperature - change of the viscosity - formation of a precipitate - change of general appearance - possible explosion - possible chemiluminiscence - formation of new compounds


What are atoms that are involved in bonding are called?

Almost all elements are capable of some kind of chemical bond; they could be called reactive elements since they undergo chemical reactions. Those which do not undergo chemical reactions are said to be inert.

Can you make ice go into a chemical change?

Water is a chemical (pretty much all matter is technically made of chemicals), so it can undergo chemical changes. Ice itself is not particularly reactive, but if it is melted into water (physical change), it can be chemically changed in a number of ways. These are some relatively common ones: 1. Water can be mixed with CO2 (Carbon dioxide) to form Carbonic Acid, something with a different chemical structure from water. 2. Water can undergo electrolysis to be split into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen.

Is a exploding firecracker a physical or chemical change?

Although the firecracker gets its energy from a chemical reaction, most of the damage it does is physical from the shockwave coming from it as it explodes. Very near the explosion there will also be some chemical damage as the burning explosive can burn some its surroundings - and burns are a type of chemical damage.


Is ductility a physical or a chemical change?

Being ductile, malleable, freezing, melting are some examples of physical changes of a substance. Physical changes do not form a new substance while chemical changes do. Examples of chemical changes are a rusting nail and combustion.
