1. What is the basic difference between physical and chemical changes?
Answers
Physical change :
# During a physical change , no new substance is formed
# A physical change is temporary
# A physical change is reversible
# Very little heat or light energy absorbed or given out in a physical change
Chemical change :
# During a chemical change , new substances are formed
# A chemical change is permanent
# A chemical change is generally irreversible
# A large amount of heat or light energy is absorbed or given out in a chemical change

Physical change :
• During a physical change , no new substance is formed
• A physical change is temporary
• A physical change is reversible
• Very little heat or light energy absorbed or given out in a physical change
●Physical change refers to a change in which the molecules are rearranged but their I internal composition remains same.
●Tearing of paper, melting/freezing of water, cutting of tress etc.
●It is reversible.
●It can be recovered.
●No new product is formed in it.
Chemical change :
• During a chemical change , new substances are formed
• A chemical change is permanent
• A chemical change is generally irreversible
• A large amount of heat or light energy is absorbed or given out in a chemical change
●Chemical change is a process in which substance transforms into a new substance, having different chemical composition.
●Burning of paper/wood/paper, rusting of iron,etc.
●It is irreversible.
●It cannot be recovered.
●New product is formed in it.
