When liquid gold becomes a solid, its particles get closer together. Which best describes what happened to the gold?

A
the conservation of magnetism
B
the change in solubility in a physical change
C
the change in melting point in a physical change
D
the rearrangement of particles in a physical change
4

Which statement best compares and contrasts two physical properties of matter?

A
Density and solubility are similar because they both involve water, but they are different because density involves dissolving a material and solubility involves floating or sinking a material.
B
Density and solubility are similar because they both involve a material’s mass and volume, but they are different because density involves floating materials and solubility involves sinking materials.
C
Boiling points and melting points are similar because they both involve changing the heat of a material, but they are different because boiling point involves adding heat to a material and melting point involves removing heat from a material.
D
Boiling points and melting points are similar because they both involve the change in a state of a material, but they are different because boiling point involves a change from a liquid to a gas and melting point involves a change from a solid to a liquid.

Wax melts when it is heated. Which most likely describes what is true of the result of this reaction?

A
The bonding of the atoms is not the same before and after the change.
B
The wax has the same density before and after the change.
C
The same amount of wax exists before and after the change.
D
The wax cannot be changed back into a solid.

7

What is an example of a physical change?

A
