The change in characteristics is entirely dependent on how you have physically changed it. However most physical changes effect shape and size.

When substances are given energy they may change state This is a physical change If they do not receive enough energy to change state they will still experience a physical change What is this call?

This is called a non-phase change physical change. It refers to a change in physical characteristics or properties of a substance without the substance transitioning from one state to another (e.g., melting, freezing).


Physical properties are altered but the substance remains the same kind of matter?

Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance. When physical properties are altered, such as when a substance changes state (solid to liquid), the basic chemical composition remains the same, indicating that it is still the same kind of matter.


Is slicing of a mango a physical change?

Yes, it is a physical change.


Do the physical properties substance change At any given location?

No, the physical properties of a substance do not change at a given location unless there is a change in temperature, pressure, or state of matter. These properties include characteristics like density, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, and solubility.


What is the term for a process that does not change the identity of a substance?

Many physical changes will not alter the identity. However, some physical changes, such as heating or cooling will result in phase changes and so the identity will be different. While ice and water are chemically the same, they are not identical forms of the substance.

What happens when a physical change does not go to completion?

When a physical change does not go to completion, there may be a partial alteration in the physical properties of the substance involved. This could result in a temporary or incomplete transformation, where some characteristics may change while others remain unchanged. Incomplete physical changes often mean that the substance retains some of its original properties or structure.

What kind of change happens when the composition of a substance does not change?

A physical change occurs when the composition of a substance does not change. This means the substance retains its chemical identity but may undergo a change in its physical properties like shape, size, or state of matter. Examples include melting, freezing, boiling, or dissolving.

What happens to energy during a change of state why is it a physical change?

Its released or adsorbed. Its "physical" because no new substance(s) is produced.

What happens to the atom or molecules of a substance if it melts?

Nothing. Melting is a physical change and does not alter the chemical composition of a substance.
