Physical and Chemical Changes
Physical and chemical changes are fundamental concepts in the realm of science, distinguishing alterations in matter based on their underlying mechanisms. Physical changes involve modifications in appearance, state, or form without altering the chemical composition of substances. In contrast, chemical changes entail transformations at the molecular level, resulting in the formation of new substances with distinct properties. Understanding these phenomena is crucial in various scientific disciplines, offering insights into the behavior of matter under different conditions and facilitating advancements in fields such as chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
