physical change vs chemical change
Definition
  • physical change can be reverse; chemical change cannot
  • physical change does not create a new substance; chemical change does
  • in a physical change the chemical compound is the same; in a chemical change the chemical compound is altered
Term

Term
scientific notation
Definition

a method used by scientist to make very big or very small numbers easier to read or write

Definition
the change in mass in an expiremint
Term
Mi
Definition
the initial mass the mass before the expiremint is performed
Term
Mf
Definition
the mass after the performance of the expiremint 
Term
calculating the MΔ
Definition

the formula is 

Mf -Mi= MΔ

Term
physical change
Definition

a change in the physical properties of a substance such as size or shape ; usually reversable

  • example ice melting 
  • wood burns
Term
chemical change
Definition

usually irreverseable change involving the rearrangement of atoms of one or more substances and a change in their chemical properties or composition resulting in the formation of at least one new substance

  • example sulfer and copper heated = copper sulfate
