Q

Chemical Change

A

A change in matter where a new substance is created from another substance or substances. The properties of the materials change.

30
Q

Something new is created. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Chemical Change

31
Q

Heat changes from room temperature. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Chemical Change

32
Q

Gas is emitted. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Chemical Change….unless…

It is a phase change then it is physical. A phase change does not change the molecule.

Atoms or molecules move from one place to another. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Physical Change

35
Q

An object changes phase. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Physical Change

36
Q

Chemical bonds are broken. Is this is a sign of a chemical or physical change?

A

Chemical Change

42
Q

Is this an element or a compound?

A

Element: both atoms are the same

43
Q

Is this a molecule?

44
Q

Is this an element or a compound?

A

Compound: There are two different elements shown here.

45
Q

Is this an element or a compound?

46
Q

Are these molecules?

A

Yes. There are three molecules.

NOTE: These molecules are of a compound, because the atoms are from different elements.

47
Q

Is this an element or a compound?

48
Q

Is this an element or a compound?

A

Element: all atoms are the same

49
Q

Does this show molecules?

A

No. Molecules must be two or more atoms bonded together.

50
Q

Is this a chemical change or a physical change happening?

A

Chemical: bonds are being broken and made; new products are produced

51
Q

Is this a chemical change or a physical change happening?

A

Chemical: bonds are being broken and made; new products are produced

52
Q

Heat is being added to the H2O inside the flask. Is this a chemical change or a physical change happening?
