Chemical Properties and Chemical Properties and Chemical ChangeChemical Change
• Chemical change Chemical change or or chemical reactionchemical reaction — — transformation of one or transformation of one or more atoms or molecules more atoms or molecules into one or more different into one or more different molecules.molecules.
•Burning hydrogen (HBurning hydrogen (H22) in ) in oxygen (Ooxygen (O22) gives H) gives H22O.O.
