Question
what do these two changes have in common?
building a tower out of magnetic blocks
breaking a ceramic plate
select all that apply.
both are only physical changes. both are chemical changes.
both are caused by heating. both are caused by cooling.
A physical change alters the form of a substance but not its chemical composition. Building a tower from magnetic blocks only rearranges the blocks without changing their chemical nature. Breaking a ceramic plate only splits the plate into smaller pieces, with no new chemical substance formed. Neither change involves heating or cooling, nor are they chemical changes (which require forming new substances).
