A chemical change is when two elements or objects combine to form a new element. When a magnet picks up iron in a junkyard, you still have a magnet and iron, and no new chemicals, so it is a physical change.

Is making iron into a magnet a physical change?

To make an iron bar into a magnet you need to get a bar magnet and stroke the iron one way when you get to the end of iron take the magnet off and jump it back to the start and stroke repeat this several times and your bar will soon become magnetic. This is only temporary, therefore the iron will become normal after the magnetic field rubs off. This means that making iron into a magnet is indeed a physical change.

Is a tree growing a chemical or a physical change?

First of all lets understand Physical & Chemical Change. Physical change can be reversed and the chemical properties of the two states remain the same. Chemical change cannot be reversed and the chemical properties of the two state are entirely different. Now lets get back to the question. Is growing a tree a physical or a chemical change. The growing of a tree requires chemical changes, primarily the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into cellulose and oxygen. So the growth results primarily from chemical changes.


Is an iron nail rusts a phisical change?

It is a chemical change. Oxygen in the air (and sometimes water vapor) combines with the iron to form oxides. The rust is a new chemical with very different properties: it has little strength, can be washed away, and is no longer attracted to a magnet.
