chemical stability
When elements or molecules combine to form a new compound, a chemical reaction occurs. This process involves the rearrangement of atoms to create new bonds and result in a different composition than the original substances.
The original substances are transformed during a chemical reaction a new substance (compound) is obtained.
A compound always has a fixed chemical composition where the elements are bonded together in specific ratios, forming a new substance with unique properties. In contrast, a mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means, and the components retain their original properties.
That process is called transformation or transmutation where the original material undergoes a change in its chemical or physical composition resulting in a new material.
Penicilline is not a 'bond' but a compound. The chemical formula is: C16H18N2O4S (the original PenG, benzylpenicilline)
Heating copper sulfate causes a chemical change because it leads to the compound decomposing into different substances, namely copper oxide and sulfur dioxide. This change alters the chemical composition and properties of the original compound, indicating a chemical reaction has occurred.

This is a chemical change.
catalyst
Water (H2O) is a chemical compound.
Yes, that would be a decomposition reaction.
In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same, but some physical properties like shape, size, or state may change. This means that the substance can be reversed back to its original state without undergoing a chemical reaction.
A compound always has a fixed chemical composition where the elements are bonded together in specific ratios, forming a new substance with unique properties. In contrast, a mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means, and the components retain their original properties.
Hexane is a compound. All chemical compounds can be broken down by chemical change (chemical reactions of many types) - not only hexane. All the other choices are elements which cannot be broken down by chemical changes.
Yes, when matter undergoes a chemical change, the composition of the matter changes at the molecular level. New substances are formed with different chemical properties than the original substances.
