Physical changes in matter are when physical properties are changed. Some physical properties are size and color. When a physical change in matter occurs, the material may have changed size (gotten smaller) due to weathering and erosion. Chemical changes are when the chemical composition of a substnce is changed. For example a chemical change would be iron turning into rust due to the process of oxidation

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.


Are changes in the state of matter are physical chemical or neither?

Changes in the state of matter are physical because they involve a change in the physical properties of a substance, such as its shape, volume, or density, without altering its chemical composition. Examples include melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation.


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.


Are bateries chemical changes?

Yes. Chemical changes are changes in what things are made of, physical changes are changes of physical localization or state of matter ( liquid, solid, or gas)
