PHYSICAL
CHANGE
A physical change refers to
Anything that changes to a breaking of glass
substance's appearance or state
without affecting its chemical
composition. This includes things
like breaking a stick or melting
ice, for instance.
folding paper
PHYSICAL CHANGE
CHEMICAL
CHANGE
It refers to a process in which burning of wood
one or more substances are
transformed into entirely new
substances with different
properties.
rusting of iron
What indicators should
you look out for to determine
if a chemical change is
taking place?

CHEMICAL
CHANGE
A chemical change, often referred to
as a chemical reaction, happens when
the atoms in a substance are
rearranged, causing chemical bonds to
form or break.
The process results in changes to the
substances' structure and makeup.
The compounds that are produced
after a chemical reaction completes
are distinct from the original
substances.
As a result of this change, new
compounds with distinctive features
are produced.

CHEMICAL CHANGE INDICATORS
Chemical changes occur when the substances’
composition is changed. The following indicators are:
1. Change in temperature
2. Change in colour Reaction

3. Noticeable odour Reactants
4. Formation of a precipitate
5. Formation of bubbles

Indicators of Chemical Change
Gas Production
Some chemical reactions
result in the formation of
gas or gases.
formation of carbon dioxide when
baking soda mixes with vinegar
Indicators of Chemical Change
Solid Production
Other chemical reactions
result in the formation
of a solid substance
formation of iron oxide
or precipitate*.

surface of the material *Precipitate is an insoluble solid
that forms out of a solution.
Indicators of Chemical Change
Colour Change
A chemical change also
occurs when there is a
noticeable change in
the colour of a substance
during a chemical reaction. change in colour in
potassium permanganate
when oxalic acid is added
Indicators of Chemical Change
Temperature Change
Another sign that a chemical
change is occurring is when
there is a noticeable change
in the temperature during a
chemical reaction.

Physical change vs Chemical Change
Physical Changes: Changes that affect physical properties
but not chemical composition; generally reversible (e.g.,
melting, freezing, dissolving).
Chemical Changes: Changes that result in the formation of
new substances with different properties; typically
irreversible (e.g., rusting, burning, fermentation).

Real-life Applications
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES (REAL WORLD
APPLICATIONS AND OBSERVATION)
How physical and chemical changes apply to real-world scenarios:
Physical Changes: Examples include melting ice in
drinks, dissolving sugar in tea, and cutting paper.
Changes are reversible in nature
Chemical Changes: Examples include baking a cake,
rusting of iron, and combustion (burning wood).
These changes result in new substances and are often
irreversible.
