Evidence of Chemical Changes How can you tell something has changed into something new?
Evidence we already know: A gas is produced ▫Evidence: you will see bubbles or hear fizzing The temperature changed ▫What you are working with got hot or cold Endothermic = feels colder Exothermic = feels hotter Color change ▫Think of the Statue of Liberty – it WAS copper, now it’s a green color….that’s a chemical change!
More evidence! It smells different ▫If something has a different odor than before, a chemical change has happened It changes form ▫If you burn something, like paper Light, heat, or sound is given off ▫When something explodes If a solid forms ▫Science Fancy Word: solid forms = precipitate
If we could see the atoms… Which part of the atom is responsible for reactivity? Hint: it’s the outermost something… Those interact with each other to form something new. The Main Point!
So what is a physical change? Physical Change: you do not make a new substance Physical Change examples: ▫Changes states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) Example: Water, Ice, and Steam are all the same – you have just changed the physical properties Example: making a baseball bat out of wood – the wood has only changed shape
Let’s get some practice! In the next few slides, use your ring cards to select either: A)Physical Change B)Chemical Change C)Don’t Know Be prepared to explain why it’s the type of change it is! You can use your notes from today if you need to.
