Question

What is happening to the atoms and molecules during both physical and chemical changes?

Answer 1

During a physical change, the atoms and molecules separate, but remain the same type of atom or molecule. During a chemical change, the atoms and molecules still might separate, but they become different atoms/molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Physical change- Change in visible properties (color, etc.)

Chemical change- Change in the type of atoms/molecules (burning, etc.)
