What happens to the composition of matter during a physical change?

During a physical change, the composition of matter remains the same. The atoms and molecules of the substance do not change; only the arrangement or state of the matter is altered. This means that no new substances are formed during a physical change.


Can matter undergo a phyical and chemical change at the same time?

Yes, matter can undergo both physical and chemical changes simultaneously. For example, when a candle burns, the wax undergoes both a physical change (melting) and a chemical change (combustion) at the same time.


When matter changes in shape size or type but remains with the same substance?

That is a physical change. The chemical composition of the substance does not change during a physical change, only its physical properties like size, shape, or state of matter.


What does not change when a substance changes matter?

The chemical composition of the substance does not change when it changes its state of matter. The arrangement of atoms and molecules may vary, but the elements present in the substance remain the same.


How Does the total amount of matter in a substance increase decrease or stay the same after a chemical or physical change?

The total amount of matter in a substance remains the same after both chemical and physical changes. This is known as the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction or physical change, only rearranged. So, the total mass of the substances before and after the change will be equal.
