Unit 2: 2.3 Flashcards
(7 cards)
Can be measured or observed withoout changing the compositon of matter (ex: color, odor, volume, density, melting point, boiling point, ductility, malleability, conductivity, sate, solubility)
Physical property
How a substance reacts with something else (if it will or won’t react)
Ex: flammability, stability, and combustibility
Chemical property
The original substance still exists, it has only changed in forms
(Ex: rippping paper, phase changes)
Physical change
When a given substance changes into entirely new substances with different properties.
(Ex: silve tarnishing, plants growing, digestion of food)
chemical change
Chemical changes are called ________
Reactions
1) a color change
2) an energy change (endothermic + exothermic)
3) a precipitate (solid) is formed
4) a gas is formed (bubbles form)
Clues that a chemical reaction may have occurred
The decomposition of a compound by electric current
Electrolysis
