Question 7 • Physical Science

Which can occur in a physical change?

Answer
A
The atoms can bond to different atoms.
B
The mass can increase.
C
The mass can decrease.
D
The particles can arrange in different ways.

Explanation

In a physical change, the substance’s chemical identity stays the same, but its particles can move or arrange themselves differently. For example, when water freezes, its molecules form a different arrangement while remaining water molecules. Therefore, “the particles can arrange in different ways” is correct; bonding to different atoms would describe a chemical change.
