  • Q7
    What is the key difference between a physical change and a chemical change?
    A physical change involves changes in the form of a substance, while a chemical change involves changes in the chemical properties.
    A chemical change can be reversed, but a physical change cannot
    A physical change can be reversed, but a chemical change cannot
