Physical Change
Change to the physical properties of matter, substance is not changed into a new substance
Chemical Change
Change to the chemical properties of matter, substance is changed into a new substance with new properties, cannot change back
Phase/State of matter
solid, liquid, and gas
Changed by changing temperature or pressure
Solid
Definite shape & definite volume
Particles packed together and vibrate but have fixed positions
Lower energy
liquid
No definite shape but has definite volume
Particles spread apart
Medium energy
Gas
No definite shape & no definite volume
Particles spread far apart
High energy
Melting
matter changing from solid to liquid
energy, particle movement
melting point= temperature substance melts at
Freezing/ Solidification
matter changing from liquid to solid
energy, particle movement
freezing point= temperature substance freezes at
Vaporization/Evaporation
matter changing from liquid to gas
energy, particle movement
Boiling point= temperature substance turns to gas at
Condensation
matter changing from gas to liquid
energy, particle movement
Sublimation
matter changing from solid to gas
energy, particle movement
Deposition
matter changing from gas to solid
energy, particle movement
