Study Notes
Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources
- A renewable resource is a natural resource that can be replenished over time.
- Examples of renewable resources include solar energy, wind energy, and water.
Chemical Changes
- A chemical change is a process that alters the chemical composition of a substance.
- Examples of chemical changes include burning fossil fuels, rusting of iron, and digestion of food.
Physical Changes
- A physical change is a process that alters the state or form of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
- Examples of physical changes include melting of ice, boiling of water, and condensation of steam.
Characteristics of Physical and Chemical Changes
- A characteristic of a physical change is that it is reversible.
- A characteristic of a chemical change is that it is often irreversible and releases or absorbs energy.
- A characteristic that is NOT typical of a physical change is a change in chemical composition.
- A characteristic that is NOT typical of a chemical change is reversibility.
