Physical and Chemical Changes/Phase Changes

Ms. K.'s class explored the difference between solids, liquids, gases, all considered phase changes. What is the difference between physical and chemical changes???? Find out.

AB
viscositythe resistance of liquid to flow
amorphous solida solid which loses its shape under certain conditions, like a candle or Oobleck
solidhas a definite shape and volume
liquidhas a definite volume, but no definite shape
gashas no defined shape or volume
condensationchanges from a gas to a liquid, losing heat
evaporationchanges from a liquid to a gas, with the addition of heat
boilingchanges from a liquid to a gas because of heat
meltingchanges from a solid to a liquid because of added heat
sublimationchanges directly from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase
physical changea change in which the appearance of a substance changes, but there is no change in the makeup of that substance
chemical changea change in the chemical makeup of a substance, ex. burning
densityamount of matter in a certain area of space (mass/volume)
inertiathe resistance of an object to move
all phase changes are. . .physical
basic unit of massgram
basic unit of lengthmeter
basic unit of volumeliter
Boyle's Lawwhen pressure is increased, volume decreases (indirect proportion)
Charles' Lawwhen temperature is added, volume increases (direct proportion)
