In the figure shown, is a chemical reaction occurring?
Yes, because the atoms have rearranged to form a new substance.
Yes, because the reactants are gases, but the product is a solid.
No, because both the reactants and products are colorless gases.
No, because there are oxygen atoms and carbon atoms in both images.
No, because there are the same number of atoms in both images.

The picture shows the structures of two compounds.
The two compounds have similar chemical properties. Why is this?
Their molecules have the same
A functional group. B number of carbon atoms.
C number of oxygen atoms. D relative molecular mass.
There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample.
You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.
Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the
entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.
