Study Notes
What is Chemistry
- Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the study of the composition and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes.
Types of Changes in Matter
- There are two types of changes in matter: physical changes and chemical changes.
Physical Changes
- A physical change is a temporary change in which no new substance is formed.
- The chemical composition of the original substances remains the same.
- Physical properties like color, state, shape, and size may change.
- Example: Water changing into ice on freezing and then melting back into water when kept at room temperature.
- This type of change is reversible, meaning the original substance can be regained.
Chemical Changes
- A chemical change is a permanent change in which a new substance is formed.
- The chemical composition of the original substance changes.
