How are changes of state different from chemical change?
<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
Physical changes alter only the size, shape, form or matter state of a material. Water boiling, melting ice, tearing paper, freezing water and crushing a can are all examples of physical changes.
On the other hand, chemical changes are a bit different. In a chemical change, a new substance is formed.
Chemical change happens when a substance changes they molecular structure, it often involves change in color (rusting iron), transfer of energy (copper smelting), or gas bubbling.
Changes of state is a physical change. An example is ice, it melts to create water. Water then can be freezed back to ice. Water is still H2O in both states(solid/liquid) Dissovling is another example. You can dissolve salt in water and can separate it by evaporating water and leaving the salt behind.
Electrons because the amount of valence electrons determines the bonds it can form and often times during a chemical bond or the forming of a compound an element will lose some of its electrons.
Anything that contains calcium comes from a strong acid. Nitrous oxide (NO2) is a weak acid, therefore the salt it makes is less acidic than the rest --> the highest pH :)
