WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

A CHEMICAL AND A PHYSICAL CHANGE?

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF EACH.

In a chemical change a NEW substance is produced,. For example: burning wood, rusting metal.

CONTRAST THE MOTION OF PARTICLES

IN:A SOLID, LIQUID,

AND IN A GAS.

Gas: Particles are far apart and move very fast.

Solid: Particles are close together and vibrate, moving much slower than in a gas.

Liquid: molecules slide pass each other moving at a speed in between that of a gas and a solid.
