Hematite is a naturally occurring mineral and a common form of iron ore. the following statements describe physical and chemical changes occurring to hematite. which statement describes a chemical change? a. the hematite particles separate from each other but remain the same substance. b. the hematite particles rearrange to form a new substance. c. the hematite particles are mixed with particles of a different substance. d. the hematite particles vibrate more quickly when they are heated. e. the hematite particles are moved from one location to another location.

The correct answer is option B.

The hematite particles rearrange to form a new substance. This is an example of a chemical change.

A chemical change is an irreversible process wherein the atoms of a substance undergoes a rearrangement that causes it to from a new substance with  unique chemical properties.

B. The hematite particles rearrange to form a new substance.

intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

there are two kinds of van der waals forces: weak london dispersion forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.

in molecule of water there are dipole-dipole forces between negatively charged oxygen from one molecule of water and positively charger hydrogen of another molecule of water.

hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (h), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (f), oxygen (o) and nitrogen (n) atoms.
