Let’s Understand

Matter is constantly experiencing changes. It may change in size, shape, or state
without changing the identity of the materials. It may be a change in its composition
resulting in the production of new substances. Physical changes occur when matter
changes its properties like texture, shape and size, color, without changing the chemical
composition of the materials.
The rubber band changed in size and in shape when it was stretched. Once
the force exerted upon it was released, the rubber band returned to its original size and
shape.

In the same manner, the cutting of paper has changed its shape and size. The identity of
the paper remains the same after it changed its size and shape.
Chemical change differs from physical change. In chemical change, new and different
materials are formed. The new materials formed have different properties from the original
materials. For example, when you burn logs, ashes are produced. The logs react with the
heat and oxygen causing it to burn and produce ashes. Ashes have different materials from
logs. Water and carbon dioxide were released during the chemical change. As a result, the
composition of the original material changed. The product (ash) can no longer return to its
original form (logs).

change, the new material formed cannot be brought back to its original form.
Changes in color
A continuous change in color is a sign that a chemical change happened.
Example is rusting of iron. From the grey color of iron, slowly changes its color to reddish
brown.
A Marked Odor
Another sign that a material undergoes a chemical change is the release of odor
different from its original smell. The rotten meat starts to release a terrible smell as it
starts to spoil.
Formation of bubbles
Another obvious sign that a chemical reaction occurs is the release of bubbles. When
you mix vinegar with baking soda, bubbles of carbon dioxide will be formed.
The presence of oxygen has various effects on matter. Oxygen in the air is a very reactive
chemical and is important in many chemical reactions such as combustion, rusting and the reactions by
which we get energy from the food we eat. Combustion is the process of burning in the presence of
oxygen, giving off heat and light. For fire to occur, there should be heat, fuel and oxygen.
Another example affected by the presence of oxygen are fruits. Some fruits like apple, turnips,
mango, etc. and some root crops like sweet potato, carrots etc. have enzymes which when combined
with oxygen give its brown color, a sign of spoilage.

The browning of fleshy part of an apple is due to exposure to oxygen.
