1 Chemical and Physical Properties

2 Physical Change A change in the physical property of a substance
The chemical properties remain the same Ex: ice to water, carving wood…

3 Any characteristic that can be observed or measured is a physical property.
                   Length can be measured.

4 Physical Physical Properties Physical Changes
Def: Properties that can be seen without changing the identity of the substance. Ex: color, shape, hardness, odor, density, dissolvability, mass, weight, volume, texture Def: changes from one phase to another (solid, liquid, gas), without changing the substance Ex: Chopping, slicing, sawing, grinding, dissolving Melting/ Freezing Vaporizing (Boiling) Condensation Sublimation Evaporation

5 Chemical Change A substance is transformed into a new substance
Involves a chemical reaction Ex. Iron rusting (with oxygen) to form iron oxide, chemical explosions, burning of wood

6 Signs of a Chemical Change
Signs of a chemical change include the production of bubbles, heat, light, smoke, sounds or color changes. Chemical changes are not reversible using physical means.

7 Example Chemical Reaction
Before During (fire, smoke) After change

8 Chemical Chemical Changes Chemical Properties
Def: The process by which a substance changes to a new substance Ex: Combustion (burning) Respiration Digestion Leaves changing color Rusting Photosynthesis Baking/cooking Gasoline burning Alka seltzer in water reacting Def: Properties that describe how a substance changes into a new substance Ex: flammability (burning)

9 Properties Physical Properties Chemical Properties
Def: Properties that can be seen without changing the identity of the substance. Ex: color, shape, hardness, odor, density, solubility (how well a solid dissolves), mass, weight, volume, texture Def: Properties that describe how a substance changes into a new substance Ex: flammability (burning)
