Some chemical compounds change or dissociate when thermal energy is applied, and substances can melt or vaporise. Another cause for changing chemical substances is electrolysis due to applying electrical energy.

I'm not sure if you meant this type of change when you ask 'is matter changed'. Matter could be taken to mean the elements concerned, and of course there is no change to the nuclear properties of the elements involved in the above changes.

If nuclear energy is added however, as in a nuclear reactor or a bomb, then matter can be changed by the neutron irradiation that occurs in these processes

When heat is absorbed is it a chemical change?

No. Rather released. As during the physical changes in the states of matter, there is breaking of bonds involved. Whenever bonds are broken, the atoms of that matter come closer and energy they give out is more as compared to energy taken while breaking bonds. Hence, Physical changes at the level of states of Matter are always Exothermic i.e. RELEASING HEAT.


What is the change of energy taken in?

The change in energy taken in refers to the difference between the energy absorbed and the initial energy level of a system. It can be calculated by subtracting the initial energy from the final energy. This change in energy is important for understanding how energy is transferred or transformed within a system.


What must be added or taken away for a change in the state of matter to occur?

I believe "heat"To change from one state of matter to another state of matter heat is added or taken away.I think that makes sense!


What plays a large role in the physical change of matter?

The energy input or removal is a key factor in causing physical changes in matter. When energy is added or taken away from a substance, it can affect the arrangement or movement of its particles, leading to changes such as melting, boiling, freezing, or condensation.


How are the flow of energy different to the flow of matter?

Matter refers to solid substances such as plants, animals, and nutrients. Energy refers to the chemical process that produces the fuels needed by living things to survive. Flow means looking at how these two things change around in the food chain.

What happens is energy is taken away from matter?

When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.


What happens when energy is taken away from matter?

The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.


If energy is taken away from matter what will happen?

Then the matter will end up having less energy.Then the matter will end up having less energy.Then the matter will end up having less energy.Then the matter will end up having less energy.


A change in matter in which energy is taken in is an endothermic change?

Endothermic changes are processes where energy is absorbed by the system from its surroundings. This results in a decrease in temperature in the surroundings during the process. Examples include melting ice and evaporating water.
