Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.

What are Intensive and Extensive properties?
lianna [129]
Intensive properties are the properties which values doesnt change with the amount of mass or material that you have, example density, melting point boiling point, molecular mass

Extensive are properties that depends of how much mass or material you have. Example: mass, number of moles, volume, pressure, number of students, population, 

mass, volume, quantity (there is only one of each), color, reflect light, temperature, energy
