(a) Under one set of conditions, the substances in A and B mix, and the result is depicted in C. Does this represent a chemical or a physical change? (b) Under a second set of conditions, the same substances mix, and the result is depicted in D. Does this represent a chemical or a physical change? (c) Under a third set of conditions, the sample depicted in C changes to that in D. Does this represent a chemical or a physical change? (d) After the change in part (c) has occurred, does the sample have different chemical properties? Physical properties?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
