2. Physical change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_change

   Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances. In general a physical change is reversible using physical ...

3. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

   Extensive properties. An extensive property is a physical quantity whose value is proportional to the size of the system it describes, [8] or to the quantity of matter in the system. For example, the mass of a sample is an extensive quantity; it depends on the amount of substance. The related intensive quantity is the density which is ...

4. Hess's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess's_law

   Hess's law. Hess’ law of constant heat summation, also known simply as Hess' law, is a relationship in physical chemistry named after Germain Hess, a Swiss -born Russian chemist and physician who published it in 1840. The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the sequence ...

7. Chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

   Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

8. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

   A physical quantity can be expressed as a value, which is the algebraic multiplication of a numerical value and a unit of measurement. For example, the physical quantity mass, symbol m, can be quantified as m = n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit symbol (for kilogram). Quantities that are vectors have, besides numerical ...

9. Physical chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_chemistry

   t. e. Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria. Physical chemistry, in contrast to chemical ...
