Let’s Review!
 Chemistry
• Deals with the study of matter, its
composition, properties and the
changes it undergoes
 Matter
• the material of which all things are made
• anything that has mass and occupies
space(volume)
• examples are rock, water, smog
Characteristics of
the Phases of
Matter
Physical Change
vs
Chemical Change
 Physical Change
A physical change in a substance
doesn't change what the substance
is.
 Chemical Change
In a chemical change where there is
a chemical reaction, a new
substance is formed.
