Chemical & Physical Change Flashcards
Change that results in a new substance being formed. During a chemical change, some chemical bonds break and others form
Chemical Change
Change state from a liquid to a gas. Evaporation occurs only from the surface of a liquid
Evaporation
Condition or phase of a substance. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid and gas
State
Change in which no new chemical substances are formed. A physical change may be a change in shape, size or state. Many physical changes are easy to reverse
Physical Change
The corrosion of iron
Rusting
A chemical reaction that wears away a metal. Air, water or chemicals in air and water, as well as many household substances, can be corrosive. Many acids and other corrosive substances are dangerous.
Corrosion
A brown substance formed when iron reacts with oxygen and water
Rust
Coating over a metal surface to prevent corrosion
Surface protection
Protecting a metal by covering it with a more reactive metal that will corrode first
Galvanising
Combining a substance with oxygen in a flame
Burning
Chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons by a substance
Oxidation
Substance, such as coal, oil and natural gas, that has formed from the remains of ancient organisms. Coal, oil and natural gas are often used as fuels; that is, they are burnt in order to produce heat
Fossil Fuel
The process of combining with oxygen, most commonly burning with a flame
Combustion
