<span>A physical change basically involves a change in physical properties. Some examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, etc.
The water melting has changed the shape and therefore it's physical properties, but the chemical nature of the water has not been altered.
So that's why it's a physical change, and not a chemical change.</span>
6 because all atomic numbers equal the number of electrons
The 4 major characteristics of a mineral are: -It is formed by natural processes- not man made -It is inorganic- it's not alive, it never will be -It is a crystalline solid- a definite volume and shape with a repeating structure -It can be an element or compound with a definite chemical composition- made the same each time w/ and orderly arrangement of atoms Also, another answer might <span>be: -Texture -Hardness -Luster or shine -Color/streak Hope that helps</span>
