Is ionization a physical change?

Ionization is a chemical change, as it involves the process of gaining or losing electrons to form charged particles (ions). This differs from physical changes, which do not alter the chemical composition of a substance.


When A physical change differs from a chemical change what is formed?

well that only depends on the form


What is the difference between physical and chemical dissolution?

Physical dissolution is purely mechanical; an example would be shaking a bottle of Italian salad dressing, the different ingredients mix but don't form a new substance. Chemical dissolution produces new substances; for example, mixing NaOH with HCl forms water and table salt, two chemicals different from what you had to begin with. Also, dissolving table salt in water is a chemical change, though it may not seem like it.When adding water:NaCl (s) => Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)This is a very soluble ionic compound and it changes from a neutral compound to ions, a chemical change.The dissolution of non-ionic compounds, such as sugar, is not a chemical reaction because sugar doesn't separate to ions in solution. i.e., this is a physical dissolution.When adding water:C6H12O6 (s) => C6H12O6 (aq)The dissolution of weak electrolytes is somewhat more complicated. Let's consider acetic acid (vinegar).When adding water:CH3COOH (s) => CH3COOH (aq)Although we write the dissolution for a weak acid or weak base this way, it differs from the sugar example because we know that, actually, some of the molecules go to CH3COO- and H3O+. We don't write this, though, because although some molecules have undergone a chemical reaction, that population is a minority.


What is the differs between physical property and chemical property?

The way I remember the difference, is: a physical property is a property that you can observe without changing it (or observe without a chemical reaction). So properties like melting point, boiling point, density, color, hardness are all physical properties. A property like 'reacts with water' could only be observed by performing the reaction to observe the change.


How does ozone differ from oxygen in its chemical formula?

Ozone is a type of oxygen but differs in chemical formula.Ozone is O3 but oxygen is O2. Both are molecules.Ozone differs from oxygen in some ways. The chemical formulas are O3 and O2 respectively.

How does physical property differs from chemical property?

A physical property can be observed without changing what the substance is made of. A chemical property can only be observed by altering a substance through a chemical change.

What is toxic chemicals?

PVC is very toxic.


A physical change differs from a chemical change in that waste products are formed through chemical changes?

In a physical change, the substance retains its chemical composition, but its physical state may change, such as melting or freezing. In a chemical change, the substance undergoes a change in its chemical composition, resulting in the formation of new substances.


How does Chemical change differs from a physical change?

A physical change is different than a chemical change, because in a physical change, the composition of the matter did not change. While in a chemical change, the composition of the matter did change.SO basically, the composition of the matter does not change is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change.yes


How is an chemical change differs from a physical change?

Physical change is the change in which only physical properties changes ,like color, hardness, density etc. Chemical changes affect the composition as well as chemical properties of matter and result in formation of new substance. Examples of chemical changes are : Burning of coal Burning of Paper Electrolysis of water


Is it true that A physical change differs from a chemical change in that waste products are formed through chemical changes?

yes

A compound differs from a mixture because it is formed from two cations?

A compound is a simple substance, a mixture is formed from two or more compounds.A mixture can be separated by physical procedures, a compound not.

Why are the elements and compounds different?

Compound differs by the chemical composisition and structure.Elements differs by the number of protons.
