Physical and Chemical Changes NCERT science class 8 Chapter 6 Summary Note

Physical properties
Shape, size, colour and state of a substance are called its physical properties.

Chemical properties
Chemical composition of a substance are called its chemical properties.

Kinds of changes- 
(i) Physical changes 
(ii) Chemical changes

           OR 
(i) Reversible changes
(ii) Irreversible changes

Physical changes 
Changes in physical properties of a substance, is called physical changes. 
Such change is reversible change. 
No new substance is formed in such change.
Example- Cutting of paper

Chemical changes 
Changes in chemical properties of a substance, is called chemical changes. 
Such change is irreversible change. 
New substance is formed in such change.
Example- Burning of paper 
                 Burning of magnesium

Few common Examples of Chemical changes 
(i) Burning of magnesium ribbon
   Magnesium + Oxygen -----> Magnesium oxide
(ii) Copper sulphate + Iron ----> Iron sulphate + Copper
(iii) Vinegar + Baking soda ----> Carbon dioxide + Other substance
(iv) Carbon dioxide + Lime water ----> Calcium carbonate + water 
When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, calcium carbonate is formed, which makes lime water milky. 

How to Identify Chemical changes
Chemical changes are accompanied by
(i) Heat, light or radiation may be given off or absorbed. 
(ii) Sound may be produced. 
(iii) Change in smell 
(iv) Change in colour
(v) A gas may be formed

Rusting
The process of formation of rust(iron oxide), is called rusting. 
Iron + Oxygen + Water ----> Iron oxide(rust) 
It is a chemical change.

For rusting, the presence of both oxygen and water(or water vapour) is essential. 

If, content of moisture in air is high, rusting becomes faster. 

Methods to Prevent Rusting
(i) Painting
(ii) Greasing
(iii) Galvanisation 
(iv) Formation of alloys

Galvanisation
The process of depositing a layer of zinc on iron is called galvanisation. 

Alloys
Mixture of metal with metal or non-metal, is called alloy. 
Example- Mixture of iron and carbon is stainless steel. 
Alloys don't rust. 

Crystallisation 
The process where a substance is purified.

Light NCERT Science Class 8 Summary Note

Image
What Makes Things Visible   When light from an object enters our eyes, then we see the object.  The light may have been emitted or reflected by the object.  Mirror   Highly polished surface is called mirror.  Reflection Bending back of light ray after falling on a surface, is called reflection.  Incident ray The light ray which strikes any surface, is called incident ray.  Reflected ray  The ray that comes back from the surface after reflection, is called as reflected ray.  Normal Line perpendicular to surface at point of incidence of light ray, is called normal.  Angle of incidence The angle between normal and incident ray, is called angle of incidence.  Angle of reflection The angle between normal and reflected ray, is called angle of reflection.  Laws of reflection (i) The incident ray, the normal at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.  (ii) The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.  Nature of Images formed by Plane Mirro

Good Conductor The substance through which electricity can pass is called good conductor.  Examples - Copper, Aluminum Poor conductor The substance through which electricity can not pass is called poor conductor. Examples - Rubber, plastic etc.  Tester A device that test conductance of a substance, is called tester.  Solutions of acids, bases and salts are generally good conductor.  Chemical effects of Current Chemical reactions (effects) caused when electricity passes through a conducting liquid, is chemical effects of current.  How to recognize chemical reaction - Release of gas - Change of colour of solution - Release of heat - Formation of new substance In battery No. of terminals- 2 (positive and negative)  Positive terminal is also called Anode .  Negative terminal is also called cathode .  Solution  is called electrolyte .  Passing current through a solution What happens when electricity is passed through c
