Chemical change happens when a substance combines with
another substance to form a new substance. It produces chemical reactions and
generally is not reversible except by further chemical reactions. Heat is sometimes
produced in some reactions. When chemical reactions occur, the atoms are
rearranged and an energy change happens along with it as new products are
generations. At a molecular level, chemical changes involves the making or
breaking of bonds between atoms. Some examples of chemical change are iron
rusting (iron oxide forms) and bread rising (yeast converts carbohydrates into
carbon dioxide gas).
Metals are on the left side of the table and nonmetals are on the left with metalloids between them. And the noble gases are all in group 18 of the periodic table.
