AND PHYSICAL CHANGES

Chemical Change Physical change

Similarities

physically
Substances can undergo changes ..............................

Differences

Yes New substances formed No

Yes Change in chemical composition No
Difficult Reversibility Easy
More Energy needed Less
The End
 A physical change is a change which
does not produce a new substance. Only the
physical state of the substance has
changed.
BACK
 A chemical change is a change
which produces a new substance. The new
substance has chemical properties and
composition different from the original
substance.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction
which absorbs heat energy from the
surroundings.
