Physical change
a substance only changes from one phase to another, without forming new substance.
eg, H2O(s) -> H2O(l)
chemical changes
result in formation os new chemical substance.
the atoms in the reactants are rearranged to from new product.
facts about chemical changes refer to (Law of conservation of mass)
In a chemical reaction matter is not created or destroyed.
1, number of atoms R=P
2, atoms of reactant has been rearranged to form the product.
what are the two groups of matter
1, Pure substances
- element and compounds
2, Mixtures
- homogeneous or heterogeneous
definition of elements
Is a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by chemical means.
- all known elements can be found on the Periodic Table
definition of molecules
Electrically neutral group of two or more atoms bonded together.
H2,Cl2,N2
electrically neutral
An object that has a balance of protons and electrons.
Opposite=charged objects
