Choices: Physical Change or Chemical Change

choose the correct answer

Answer 1

Here are the classifications for each statement based on whether they describe a physical or chemical property:

Column A

1. Sodium is a silvery-white metal. - Physical Property

2. When heated, sodium burns, producing a bright yellow flame. - Chemical Property

3. Sodium reacts with acids to produce hydrogen gas. - Chemical Property

4. Sodium's melting point (the point where it turns from solid to liquid) is 97.8°C. - Physical Property

5. Sodium is soft enough to be cut with a knife. - Physical Property

6. Sodium reacts violently with water. - Chemical Property

So, the correct answers are:

1. Physical Property
2. Chemical Property
