Melting the steel wool is a physical change.
When the steel wool burns, it is oxidized and thus this is a chemical change.
Rusting of steel wool is a chemical change because it involves a reaction between iron in the steel wool and oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust). This new substance has different properties than the original steel wool.
Physical change: the steel wool only changes the black pot's shape and in doing so reveals another color in the pot or the color of the substance that the pot is made from; it would still be the same thing but there would be all the parts of the pot, just it would be in different pieces.
Let's call it a biological change. It has elements of both physical and chemical, but wool doesn't "form" on a sheep like, say, mold on a loaf of bread; wool is sheep hair and it grows out of hair follicles all over the animal.
Steel wool is typically held together by metallic bonds, which are formed between the atoms within the metal. These bonds involve the sharing of electrons among the metal atoms, creating a strong bond that gives steel wool its structural integrity.
Both steel wool and rocks undergo physical and chemical weathering processes when exposed to the elements. Steel wool can rust when exposed to moisture, similar to how rocks can break down due to freezing and thawing cycles or chemical reactions with water. Both processes result in the breakdown of the material over time.
yes because only the appearance changed and it is still wool.
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
the wool does not rust
Steel wool is a mixture.
Steel wool is a Mixture-Mechanical
