What happens to the energy in a substance when it changes state?

It changes form, but is neither destroyed nor increased.

Compare and contrast solide, liquids, gases, and plasma by explaining the behavior of their particles.

Solids - have a set structure and volume when poured from different containers Liquids - same volume when poured from different containers but different shape gases - have neither a set structure or volume.

When water boils, steam forms. When vin eager and baking soda combine, carbon dioxide gas is released. Which change is physical, and which is chemical? How do you Know?

The steam is physical because there is nothing new that has formed and the carbon dioxide is chemical because there was no carbon dioxide before the combination.
