A chemical change is when 2 substances combine to form a new substance. An example of this could be: sodium+chlorine=sodium chloride, or table salt.
A physical change is when the appearance or form of a substance is affected, but it’s chemical substances have not been changed. An example of this would be: chopping a log in half.
The Law of Conservation of Mass is the rule which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. An example of this would be: it is impossible to make a glass of water appear into my hand out of thin air, the same with it disappearing into thin air.
