Chemistry

An element is an atom or group of the same type of atom in a concentrated, pure form. A molecule is a group of atoms that aren't all necessarily the same type of element. For example, in a sample of elemental iron, every atom in the sample will be an iron atom whereas in table salt, NaCl, half of the atoms are sodium atoms and the rest are chlorine atoms. Atoms are composed of a nucleus which has neutrally charged neutrons and  positively charged protons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Number of electrons and neutrons may vary from atom to atom of the same element, but the number of protons in the atom determine what element it is.

Which of the following changes can alter the form of a substance but does not necessarily change it to an other substance?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

  • The physical changes can alter the form of a substance but does not necessarily change it to an other substance

Explanation:

  • The physical properties of matter is one that does not depend on composition.It just change the form of matter into another form with changing into composition.
  • Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.
  • The three states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas. The melting point and boiling point are related to changes of the state of matter. All matter may exist in any of three physical states of matter.

Example:

  1. When water is boiled then it change into vapors. Now the form of water is change but its composition is same like water
  2. When water freezes into ice, now phase are different i.e water is liquid while ice is solid but both have same composition.
