Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is cooled enough. The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state.

What are two effects caused by chemical change?

the substance will become an entirley new substance.


Is a change that produces a new substance is a chemical change?

False. This is a chemical change. A physical change is, for example, when Ice melts into water. It is the same element but it is in a different form. A chemical change is, for example, when two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom come together to form a water molecule, thereby producing a new substance.

Is a tree that is cut into boards at a sawmill a chemical change?

Sawing a board in half is not an example of chemical change. It is an example of a physical change. Physical changes on a substance do not change the substance. When you saw a board in half, the two halves of the boards are still boards- they're not anything else.


What are the factors that bring about physical and chemical change?

A physical change is a change of state that does not affect the properties of the substance. Example: Ice melting to water. It's still water, just in a different form. A chemical change is a change of properties in a substance, which creates* a new substance. This happens when two substances combine. Example: Lighting a peice of paper on fire. When this happens, the fire and the paper put together creates ash. *Note: You can not create or destroy mass, only change it. Example: If the paper weighed 1 g before it's burning, it will weigh the same after.

Is it true melting is considered an sublimation change because energy is gained by substance as it changes stae?

Melting is a phase change in which a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. Sublimation is a phase change in which a solid moves directly into the gas phase. Both melting and sublimation are two types of physical change.
