Is cutting hair is irreversible change ? Cutting hair is an irreversible change because we cannot combine the cut hair back but hair can regrowth back to the same length.

Getting your haircut is a physical change Because your not actually changing your hair. It will grow back and its still hair it hasn’t changed.

In this case, “CUTTING ONE’S HAIR” is an example of physical change because it involves the removal of the hair without altering the chemical composition of the hair.

Determine if each is a physical or chemical change….Physical or Chemical Change?

A physical change affects the physical properties of the matter but not the particles that make up the matter. Think about a pencil that is broken in half. The broken pencil is still a pencil, but its physical properties, like size and shape, have changed.

Rain formation is a physical change because it involves only a change in the physical state of water due to change in temperature but chemical properties remain same.

When you sharpen your pencil, you have only caused a physical change. The sharpener has cut off some of the wood and maybe also some of the graphite, but the atoms of the wood and graphite have not changed chemically. Burning is a good example of a chemical change.

Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, color, volume and density.

All physical changes are reversible and their mass does not change. Some examples are changes of shape, changes of states, and passing electricity through a copper wire. Physical changes could be: melting, freezing, boiling/evaporating, condensing, deposition and sublimation.

Melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition are six common phase changes.

Originally Answered: What is it called when a gas turns into a plasma? It is called ionization. Ionization or ionisation is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.

There is a special temperature for every substance called the melting point. When a solid reaches the temperature of its melting point, it can become a liquid. For water, the temperature needs to be a little over zero degrees Celsius (0oC) for you to melt.
