Study Notes

States of Matter

  • Solid
  • Liquid
  • Gas
  • Cool
  • Melting
  • Evaporation
  • Freezing
  • Hot
  • Condensation
  • Sublimation
  • Deposition

Physical Change

  • Any alteration of a substance from its original shape, size, and state
  • Temporary changes that can be reversed easily
  • Only physical state of matter is changed, internal composition of the substance remains the same
  • Examples:
    • Ice on heating changes into water, which on cooling changes into ice
    • Water on heating forms water vapour, which on cooling gives back water
    • Ice cubes → Water → Ice cubes

Chemical Change

  • Permanent changes that cannot be reversed
  • Internal chemical composition of the original substance changes into a completely new substance
  • Examples:
    • Burning a paper forms ash, which cannot be changed back to paper and has different properties
    • Heating brings a chemical change in the burning of paper
