differences in a physical change and chemical change
physical-no actual reaction happens
chemical-no new substances made
physical change doenst involve a change in ______
mass
properties of solids (4)
small distance in-between, high density, vibrates, cant flow
properties of liquids (4)
small distance in between, high density, slow, can flow
properties of gases (4)
large distance in between, low density, very fast, can flow
what is the brownian motion
random movement of any floating particle in liquid or gas
what is diffusion
spreading out of particles from area of higher concentration to area of lower contentration
changes in temperature e.g thermometer
higher temperature, particles move faster, spaces in between widen, substance expands
