Overview
Physical change is a temporary or reversible change in which no new substances are formed. A chemical change is a permanent and usually irreversible change in which new substances with different properties are formed. This note gives us the information on physical change, chemical change , and chemical reaction.Chemical Reaction
Physical change
Physical change is a temporary or reversible change in which no new substances are formed. Examples:
- Lightening of an electric bulb.
- Magnetizing an iron nail.
- Preparing a solution.
- Changing of ice into the water and water vapour in heating.
- Making of different objects from the soil.
Characteristics of physical changes
- Physical changes are temporary a change.
- They are reversible change.
- In these changes, no new substances are formed.
- In these changes, only physical properties are changed but chemical compositions are not changed.
Chemical change
A chemical change is a permanent and usually irreversible change in which new substances with different properties are formed.
Characteristics of chemical change
- Chemical changes are permanent changes.
- They are usually irreversible changes.
- In this change, new substances are formed.
- Rusting of iron.
- Burning magnesium ribbon in air to form magnesium oxide.
Differences between physical and chemical changes
| Physical change | Chemical change |
| No new substances are formed. | New substances are formed. |
| It is a temporary change in which chemical composition of the substance remains the same. | It is a permanent change in which chemical composition of the substance changed. |
| Change in energy is not usually seen in it. | Change in energy is visible. |
| Change in mass is not seen. E.g., dissolving the salt in water | Change in mass is seen in it, e.g., rusting of iron. |
| Only the physical properties like colour, taste or state are changed. | Chemical, as well as physical properties, are changed. |
| It is usually reversible. | It is usually irreversible. |
Chemical reaction
The process by which a chemical change takes place is called as a chemical reaction. Those substances that take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants. Those substances which are formed by a chemical reaction are called products.
Word equation
The chemical reaction which is expressed in terms of full names of reactant and product molecules is called word equation. For example, Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce water.
Hydrogen + oxygen→Water
(Reactants) (Products)
Chemical equations
The chemical reaction which is expressed by using themolecular formula of reactants and products is called chemical equation. The chemical equation is also called formula equation.
2 H2 + O2→2 H2O
Things to remember
- Physical change is a temporary or reversible change in which no new substances are formed.
- A chemical change is a permanent and usually irreversible change in which new substances with different properties are formed.
- Chemical changes are permanent changes.
- Physical changes are temporary a change.
- The chemical reaction which is expressed by using molecular formulae of reactants and products is called chemical equation
- The chemical reaction which is expressed in terms of full names of reactant and product molecules is called word equation.
- It includes every relationship which established among the people.
- There can be more than one community in a society. Community smaller than society.
- It is a network of social relationships which cannot see or touched.
- common interests and common objectives are not necessary for society.

Questions and Answers
Define physical change with example.
A physical change is a temporary change in which only the physical state or appearance of the substance changes and no new substances are formed.
For example: Melting of ice, evaporation of water etc.
For example: Melting of ice, evaporation of water etc.
Define chemical change with example.
A chemical change is a permanent change in which new substances with different properties are formed.
For example: Electrolysis of water, burning of kerosene etc.
For example: Electrolysis of water, burning of kerosene etc.
Write the differences between physical and chemical change.
The differences between physical and chemical change are as follows:
| Physical Change | Chemical Change |
| In a physical change only physical properties are changed. | In a chemical change, the chemical composition and chemical properties are changed. |
| No new substances are formed | New substances are formed. |
| It is generally a temporary change. | It is a permanent change. |
What are the 3 main factors that bring out a chemical change?
The main factors that bring out a chemical change are:
- Heat, electricity and light
- Simple contact
- Contact by solution
- Pressure
- Catalyst
Describe how the chemical change is affected by heat, electricity and light.
Heat supplied gives energy to the molecules of the reactants and makes them collide to each other to bring about chemical reaction. Examples are:
CaCO3 Heat → CaO + CO2
2KClO3 Heat → 2KCl +3O2
Electricity brings both synthesis and decomposition reaction. For example:
2H2O Electrolysis→ 2H2 + O2
2H2 + O2 Electrolysis→ 2H2O
Some of the chemical reaction takes place in the present of light. For example:
2AgBr Sunlight→ 2Ag + Br2
CH4 + Cl2 Uv-rays → CH3Cl + HCl
CaCO3 Heat → CaO + CO2
2KClO3 Heat → 2KCl +3O2
Electricity brings both synthesis and decomposition reaction. For example:
2H2O Electrolysis→ 2H2 + O2
2H2 + O2 Electrolysis→ 2H2O
Some of the chemical reaction takes place in the present of light. For example:
2AgBr Sunlight→ 2Ag + Br2
CH4 + Cl2 Uv-rays → CH3Cl + HCl
