Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Let's analyze each statement to determine whether it describes a physical change or a chemical change:

1. **Picking up a paper clip with a magnet is a** **physical change**. (The paper clip's magnetic properties are utilized, but its composition does not change.)

2. **A piece of pear turning brown is a** **chemical change**. (This is due to the oxidation process, which alters the chemical composition of the pear.)

3. **Breaking a ceramic plate is a** **physical change**. (The plate is still made of the same material; it has just been broken into smaller pieces.)

4. **Making paper from wood is a** **chemical change**. (This process involves chemical reactions that transform the wood into paper.)

5. **Rain forming in a cloud is a** **physical change**. (This is a change in state from water vapor to liquid water, but the chemical composition remains the same.)

So, the filled blanks are:

1. physical change
2. chemical change
3. physical change
4. chemical change
5. physical change
- Picking up a paper clip with a magnet is a **physical change**. - A piece of pear turning brown is a **chemical change**. - Breaking a ceramic plate is a **physical change**. - Making paper from wood is a **chemical change**. - Rain forming in a cloud is a **physical change**.
