Melting ice to get water, or boiling water to get steam,
doesn't change the identity of H2O.

What happens during a physical change?
In a physical change, color, shape, state, temperature, or texture can change. None of these effect the changes substance's chemical properties.
What happens to particles when they are dissolved?
There is a change in the physical properties of these particles. Their chemical formula remains intact.
What is the example of physical and chemical properties?
Physical Property: The appearance of the object changes, but the chemical remains the same. Such as the color, size, mass, smell, etc.Chemical Property: The chemicals inside change. The substance is the same as it was before, but doesnt looks the same. For example, a ice cube that melts to a liquid. The appearance did change; however, its still has the same substance as before, which was water.
What change involves a change in one or more physical properties?
It's called a physical change.
Why is solubility a physical change?
While solubility is undergoing changes in their substances wheather it could be from a mechanical deformation, exposure to another substance, or any of a number other alterations. If the same substance remains after the change, a physical change has taken place.
What happens during a physical change?
In a physical change, color, shape, state, temperature, or texture can change. None of these effect the changes substance's chemical properties.
What kind of change such as a change of state the substance of the whole changes but its underlying structure remains the same?
In changes in which the molecular structure of a substance remains constant, such as changes of state, we often refer to these changes as Physical Changes. If the molecular structure is altered it would be a Chemical Change.
When a substance changes form but it remains the same substance is it a physical or chemical change?
it would be physical change because physical change is when the substance stays the same
When a substance changes form but it remains the same substance is it a chemical or physical change?
it would be physical change because physical change is when the substance stays the same
Is it a physical or chemical change when a substance changes form but it remains the same substance?
it would be physical change because physical change is when the substance stays the same
What is the difference between physical change and chenical change?
In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance undergoing the change remains the same. In a chemical change, atoms are rearranged, forming new products with their own unique chemical compositions and properties, different from the original substance or substances.
What are altered remains?
Petrified wood is an example of altered remains. The pores of the wood are filled in with silica.
What is the substance that undergoes a physical change but always stays the same?
a physical change is totally reversible, i.e, you can get the substance you will get back after some physical process like heating, evaporating, etc. thus the substance actually remains the same.
What kind of change happens when the composition of a substance does not change?
Physical changes, such as the change from ice to water to steam; the compound remains as H2O in all three states.
What happens to particles when they are dissolved?
There is a change in the physical properties of these particles. Their chemical formula remains intact.
Is the evaporation of ether a chemical change?
No. Evaporation of ether or any other substance is a physical change as the identity of the substance remains the same.
Is a chalk grinding a physical change?
It doesn't matter if something is reversible or irreversible. it will not depend if it is a chemical or physical change. A physical change is when the composition of a substance remains unaltered (the particles stay the same) and no new substance is produced. Such as when you make a paper plane out of paper, the appearance changed, the particles stayed the same, no new substance was created, and the paper remains paper. A chemical change is when the composition of a substance is altered and a new substance is produced. Such as when paper is burned, the new substance produced is the carbon and other gases from the fire, and the composition of the paper changes, slowly disappearing.It usually is unless you draw so rapidly that the heat of the friction heats the paper and causes it to smoke.
