Physical Changes
Physical changes are concerned with energy and states of matter. A physical
change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase
(melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical
changes. Examples of physical changes include crushing a can, melting an
ice cube, and breaking a bottle.
A chemical change makes a substance that wasn't there before. There may
be clues that a chemical reaction took place, such as light, heat, color
change, gas production, odor, or sound. The starting and ending materials of
a physical change are the same, even though they may look different.
A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured
without changing it. Examples of physical properties include color, molecular
weight and volume.
