Do you know what physical and chemical changes are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've always had more fun grading the question-asker, than answering silly questions on tests -- in this case, none of the options are actually correct. One is more correct than the others.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.cociuba yes i do

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Okay, so by knowing this which of the 4 options, are not correct?

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

So by knowing that, you would know that D is automatically knocked off the list.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Let;s move on to C. Do you know what a phase change is?

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

It is the change in the state of matter (state: solid, liquid Gas). So, by this you would know that C is also off. Now we are left with A and B.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Can you tell me what B is talking about?

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

It's talking about how chemical bonds are the bonds between two atoms in a molecule. So from here we now know that the answer is A.

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

In a chemical equation the number of atoms on one side has to equal that on the other and if you melt an ice cube, all of the water molecules are still there, they' re just in a puddle. So, by this you know it's A :)

@e.cociuba thank you!!!

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

No problem :)
