I am going to talk about how gold is made. I also noticed some physical and chemical changes happening in the video. My first Physical change I saw was when they drill in a certain spot‚ on the rock then they can put the pieces back together and pretend it did not happen because the molecules have not changed in the object‚ you are just breaking them into smaller pieces. So that is why it is a physical change. A chemical change I saw is when there is gold mixed with other materials like silver and

A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges‚ either between electrons and nuclei‚ or as the result of a dipole attraction. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" such as covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" such as dipole-dipole interactions‚ the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding

using physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are characteristics of a substance. Two types of physical properties are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative is a property that has an amount or can be measured such as hardness‚ solubility‚ and viscosity. Qualitative is a physical description of matter such as color‚ clarity‚ and state. Chemical properties are characteristics of a substance which allows it to behave in a specific manner. A few types of chemical properties are combustibility
