Question

Earlier in the day, Will learned about the kinds of changes in matter that can take place.

He wanted to explore these changes in more depth, so he compared the two kinds of ways matter changes and how they differ. He recorded his findings in his science notebook. What are the ways in which matter changes and how do they differ?

Answer 1

There are two types of change in matter: physical change and chemical change. As the names suggest, physical changes never change the identity of the matter, only its size, shape or state. In a physical change, atoms are not rearranged and the matter's physical and chemical properties are unchanged.
