Types of changes in nonliving things
Non-living matter undergoes changes i.e they can be made to change from one state to another. They can be made to form new substances.
- Physical changes
- Chemical changes
Physical changes: These are changes in which no new substances are formed. A physical change is a temporary change, It is reversible. The composition of the new substance does not change when undergoing a physical change. Examples are:
- Melting of candle wax.
- Dissolution of salt in the water to form a salt solution.
Salt      +           water  ____________    salt solution
3. All changes in the state of matter are physical changes. Such as:
- vapourization of liquid to gases
- Melting of solids to liquids e.g ice to water
- Liquefaction of gases to liquids e.g cooking gas is liquefied under pressure.
- Sublimation of solids to vapours
- All processes of separation of mixture are physical changes e.g distillation
- Magnetization and demagnetization of iron.
