Think: This video uses baking as an analogy. During baking, there is only a physical change if you are simply mixing the ingredients.
How does putting it into an oven cause a chemical change? What are the evidences that a chemical change has occurred?
- Free School
Test Yourself: State the main differences between physical and chemical change.
Name everyday examples of physical as well as chemical changes!
Thermal Decomposition
- Revision Monkey
Tip:
Having just one reactant (on the left side of the equation) is a big clue that the reaction is a type of decomposition.
Oxidation
- It's AumSum Time
Tip:
Rusting is an example of oxidation - Having oxygen as one of the reactants is a big clue that the reaction is oxidation.
Combustion
- Stile Education
Tip:
An everyday word for combustion = "burning".
During combustion,
a substance reacts with oxygen
the substance is heated
a lot of heat energy is released
Think: Why is combustion considered a type of oxidation reaction?
Tip:
Photographic film contains silver bromide. When exposed to light, it decomposes to form silver (dark areas on the film) and bromine.
Tip:
X-ray film is also made of silver bromide. The bones allow less X-ray to pass through (compared to the skin), hence it appears lighter / "white".

Think: Why is electrolysis considered a type of decomposition?
Tip:
Pay attention to the last part of the video:
What is an electrolyte?
What are electrodes?
What are attracted to the cathode?
What are attracted to the anode?
Electroplating a Key
- Home Science Tools
Tip:
DIY Experiment- Look at how the key is coated with copper!
Notice that the object to be coated (key) is connected to the negative electrode, while the metal (copper) is connected to the positive electrode.

Testing for Hydrogen Gas
Procedure
Place a lighted splint at the mouth of the test tube
Observation
It is extinguished with a 'pop' sound
Conclusion
Hydrogen gas is produced
- BGSS Science
Testing for Carbon Dioxide
Procedure
Bubble the gas into limewater (using a delivery tube)
Observation
A white precipitate is formed
Conclusion
Carbon dioxide is produced
