A substance undergoes a change.


Which statement indicates that the change was a physical change?



Heat energy was given off.



The substance changed color.



The molecules of the substance changed.



The substance changed shape.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A change that does not bring any difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, shape, size, density, mass etc are all physical changes.

Change in color is not necessarily a physical change because sometimes color of a substance changes due to chemical reaction.

For example, during rusting color of iron changes.

Whereas a change that brings difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical change.

For example, reactivity, release or absorption of energy, toxicity etc are all chemical changes.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement substance changed shape was a physical change.
