a) A
physical change
is a
transformation
that changes
neither the
________________________
nor the
characteristic
properties of
matter. No
new
________________________
is produced.
substances
colour
b) A
chemical change
is a
transformation
that changes
the
________________________
and
characteristic
properties of
matter. New
________________________
are produced.
The following
signs indicate
that a
chemical change
has occurred:
– There
is a
change in
________________________.
energy
– There
is a
change in
temperature.
gas
– A
large amount
of
________________________
is released
or absorbed.
solid
– A
________________________
is emitted.
– A
________________________
is formed
when two
liquids are
mixed together.
– The
change is
usually
irreversible.
matter
always

c) According
to the
law of
conservation of
matter, in
all changes,
whether physical
or chemical,
the amount
of
_______________________
________________________
remains
the same.
The
mass of
________________________
does not
change.
solute
solvent
d) Dissolution
is the
process of
preparing a
solution by
mixing a
________________________
in
a
________________________.
chemical
oxygen
oxygen
e) Oxidation
is a
________________________
change involving
________________________
or a
substance with
properties
similar to
those of
________________________.
molecule
atoms
molecules
atoms
f) Synthesis
is the
formation of
a complex
____________________
from
____________________
or simpler
molecules.
Decomposition is
the
transformation of
complex
________________________
into simpler
molecules or
into
________________________.
sugars
water
chlorophyll
combustion
g) Photosynthesis
is the
process by
which producers
use solar
energy to
make their
food
(________________________)
from carbon
dioxide and
________________________.
This process
takes place
in cells
that contain
________________________.
Cellular
respiration is
the opposite
reaction to
photosynthesis.
It is
the process
by which
living cells
produce energy
through the
________________________
of complex
nutrients.
solid
h) Precipitation
is the
formation of
an insoluble,
or only
slightly soluble,
____________________
substance, called
a precipitate.
Precipitation may
occur when
two solutions
are combined.
