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.
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 change that does not make a substance into a new substance is called a physical change. In physical changes, the physical properties of the substance may change, such as shape, size, or state (solid, liquid, gas), but the chemical composition remains the same.
A change is physical if the substance's composition remains the same but its physical properties, such as shape, size, or phase, are altered. This type of change can be temporary and reversible. Examples include melting, freezing, or dissolving.
Yes, it is a physical change.
That is a physical change. The chemical composition of the substance does not change during a physical change, only its physical properties like size, shape, or state of matter.
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.
It is a physical change. In physical changes, the substance's physical properties change (such as shape or state), but the chemical composition remains the same.
Yes, ripping your notebook is a physical change because the substance (paper) remains the same, only its shape has been altered. The paper molecules are not chemically altered during the ripping process.
Two physical properties that can vary without changing the substance are temperature and pressure. For example, water can exist as a solid (ice), liquid, or gas (steam) at different temperatures and pressures, but it remains chemically the same H2O molecule.

The composition of matter changes during a chemical change as new substances are formed with different chemical properties. In contrast, the composition of matter remains the same during a physical change, with only the physical state or appearance of the substance being altered.
Crushing a soda can is a physical change because the substance itself (aluminum) is not altered chemically. The can's shape changes, but its chemical composition remains the same.
Yes, during a chemical change, the chemical composition of the substance is altered, which means new substances are formed with different properties. However, the identity of the original atoms remains the same, as they are rearranged to form new compounds.
Flattening is typically a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the material. When something is flattened, its shape or appearance may be altered, but the substance itself remains the same.
