A physical change in contrast to a chemical change is one in which the chemical structure of the compounds involved are left unchanged. Only a physical change occurs. One such example is boiling water. This changes the physical state of water from a liquid to a gas. Similarly, freezing water is a physical reaction. In this case, liquid is frozen to form a solid.

What are phisycal changes in matter?

Physical changes are changes that only change the appearance of an object, but not the type of matter. For example, if a metal bike rusts the bike will still remain a solid. That is a physical change.


Can matter change states after a physical change?

Yes, matter can change states after a physical change. Physical changes involve changes in the arrangement of particles without altering the chemical composition. For example, melting ice (solid to liquid) and boiling water (liquid to gas) are physical changes that involve changes in state.


Heat causes physical changes in matter by changing?

Typically heat changes the STATE of matter from solid to liquid to gas.However, heat can also cause chemical changes for example combustion.


What is a physical change of matter?

A physical change in matter occurs when the shape or form of matter changes, but there is no chemical reaction. If someone were to melt a sugar cube, that would be an example of a physical change.

An example of when matter undergoes a physical change?

Ice melting into water is an example of matter undergoing a physical change. The ice changes from a solid state to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.


When the physical properties of matter change the matter itself does not?

When physical properties of matter change, the composition and identity of the matter remain the same. These changes only affect characteristics like color, shape, or state of matter, not the actual substance itself. For example, when ice melts into water, the substance remains H2O, but its physical state changes from solid to liquid.


A charateristic of matter that is otained by changing the state of the matter the ability to melt is an example of this charateristic for ice?

The characteristic of matter you are referring to is called a physical property. The ability to melt is an example of a physical property exhibited by ice, where it changes from a solid state to a liquid state when heated.
