Question

An element cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical or physical means. But you can still split a sample of an element into smaller pieces. For example, a piece of aluminum foil can be cut in half and then in half again, and all of the pieces will still be aluminum.


What do you think will eventually happen if you could continue dividing that piece of aluminum foil?


HELPPPP MEEEEEE PLZZZZZZZ!!!

I'M CRYING!

Answer 1

Answer:

Tearing aluminum is a physical change because when u rip the paper the composition is still the same because you can always get that same piece of foil back. For example if you burn that piece of paper it will become a new substance which means you cannot get that same piece back so it would become a chemical change.
