What is the difference between a physical and chemical change?

2 answers:

6 0

In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed. The distinction between physical and chemical change is not clear cut.

Answer:

Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

Why does mixing a substance cause water to freeze

kupik [55]

Explanation:

Hey It is due to physical properties

The hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together in water's liquid and solid form give the substance high boiling and freezing points and strong surface tension. Because water molecules are held so tightly together, it takes a large amount of heat for water to boil.

Which statement about subatomic particles is true?

Kruka [31]

The correct statement about subatomic particles is Electrons are the subatomic particles with the smallest mass.

The mass of protons and neutrons which are considered as 1 unit of mass of atoms is approximately 1836 times the mass of the electron

$\boxed {\boxed {\bold {Further ~ explanation}}}$

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons

The mass of this basic particle is expressed in units of atomic mass

This atomic unit uses the standard atomic mass, that is, the C-12 isotope

1 atom C-12 = 12 atomic mass units

1 atomic mass unit = 1/12 x mass 1 C-12 atom

1 unit of atomic mass = 1.66.10⁻²⁴

the mass of each basic particle in atomic mass units is:

electron mass = 9.11.10⁻²⁸

proton mass = 1.6726.10⁻²⁴

neutron mass = 1,675.10⁻²⁴

The proton mass is considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit and a neutron which is also considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit

The charge of 1 proton is equal to a charge of 1 electron but has a different sign

The proton is positively charged (+1), the electron is negatively charged (-1). and neutrons not charged (neutral)

For a charge of 1 electron = e = 1.66.10⁻¹⁹ coulomb

Whereas the neutron charge = 0

Let's look at the answer choices

1. Protons are the only subatomic particles to have a charge.

This statement is wrong because in the nucleus there are electrons charged -

2. Electrons are the subatomic particles with the smallest mass.

The statement is true because the mass of protons and neutrons which are considered as 1 unit of mass of atoms is approximately 1836 times the mass of the electron

3. Neutrons orbit the nucleus of the atom.

This statement is wrong.

It can be explained by the Bohr atomic model, where electrons circulate the nucleus on a particular path so that electrons are not attracted to the nucleus.
