    Study Notes

    Physical Changes

    • Melting: Transition from solid to liquid, such as ice turning to water.
    • Boiling or Vaporization: Conversion of liquid into gas, as seen when water boils.
    • Freezing: Process where liquid becomes solid, exemplified by water freezing into ice.
    • Sublimation: Transformation from solid directly to gas, like dry ice.
    • Deposition: Change from gas to solid without passing through the liquid state, as seen with frost formation.
    • Condensation: Process in which gas turns into a liquid, such as water droplets forming on a cold surface.

    Signs of a Chemical Change

    • Color Change: A noticeable shift in color indicating a chemical reaction.
    • Production of an Odor: Release of new scents, like burning wood.
    • Burning: Combustion that alters the original substances, producing heat and light.
    • Rusting: Oxidation of metals, such as iron forming rust upon exposure to moisture.
    • Food Spoilage: Chemical reactions that lead to the deterioration of food, altering taste and safety.

    Importance of Changes

    • Physical and chemical changes are fundamental processes in nature and human life.
    • Most chemical changes are irreversible, meaning substances cannot return to their original state.
    • Some physical changes are reversible, allowing substances to revert to their initial form.
