Chemical Change

Real World Example

Imagine trying to bake a cake where you mix together flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, and then bake them until a cake forms. This process is similar to a chemical change because just as the ingredients transform into a completely different item—a cake—a chemical change results in the formation of a new substance. In both cases, the original components (ingredients or reactants) combine and undergo a transformation to produce something entirely new and different (a cake or a new chemical substance), highlighting how the initial elements lose their individual characteristics to create something with new properties.
