Key points:

PHYSICAL CHANGE CHEMICAL CHANGE


 Alters the appearance of a material,  A Change that forms a NEW
but NO new substance is made substance
 Readily reversible  Difficult to reverse the new
substance to the original substances
Examples: Examples:
 Change of state of matter  Rusting
