====== Chemical vs. Physical Processes ======
===== Physical Processes =====
  * Changes in [[ap_chem:intermolecular_forces|Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)]]
  * Properties change but composition remains the same
  * e.g. phase changes and formation or separation of mixtures
===== Chemical Processes =====
  * Involves the breaking and/or formation of chemical bonds
  * Substances transform into other substances that may have different properties
  * Temperature changes, light emittiance, precipitation or color changes are indications of chemical changes
===== Gray Area =====
  * Dissolving salts in water involves breaking ionic bonds and creating ion-dipole interactions
