What is always a characteristic of a chemical change but not always a characteristic of a physical change?

When a chemical change takes place, the chemical structure of particles involved changes (i.e. one or more new substances are formed). In a physical change, the physical state of the particles involved changes (e.g. a solid melts and becomes a liquid). The chemical structure of the particles does not change, and no new substance is formed.


How you tell if matter has undergone a chemical change or a physical change?

If a chemical change has occurred, the chemical composition has changed and new products will have formed, different from the reactants. If a physical change has occurred, the chemical composition does not change and no new products will have formed.


Is cutting your fingernails physical or chemical change?

Cutting your fingernails is a physical change because the composition of the material (keratin) remains the same before and after cutting. A chemical change involves a change in the chemical composition of a substance.


When a substance undergoes a phase change what occurs a particle change a chemical change a new substance is formed a physical change?

During a phase change, the substance transitions between different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in the chemical composition of the particles involved. This means that there is no new substance formed and no chemical change taking place, it is solely a physical change.
