No, physical changes normally refer to changes other than chemical reactions. If you have a loaf of bread and cut it in half, that is a physical change but not a chemical change. If you eat the bread and digest it, that is a chemical change.
In changes in which the molecular structure of a substance remains constant, such as changes of state, we often refer to these changes as Physical Changes. If the molecular structure is altered it would be a Chemical Change.
Snow has no chemical changes. It goes through a freezing stage of water vapor, just a molecular change.
Any change that changes the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved. Mostly it is a physical change that cannot be reversed.
A physical change doesn't change the molecular properties of a substance. Some examples of physical changes include tearing paper, or the evaporation of water. A chemical change does change the molecular properties of a substance. For example, if you burn wood you get leftover carbon, and CO2 is also released; no longer does the wood have the same molecular properties or structure.
Chemical changes take place on the molecular level

physical: it's a change of state, it does not change the chemical makeup: molecular, atomic
No because physical states of matter changes are physical changes. they are not chemical changing meaning it is still alcohol, just frozen.
This is a physical change. You only change the shape and size of an apple by slicing it. Chemical changes would mean changing the molecular composition of the apple.
a physical change is a phase change, such as water to ice or water vapor. a chemical change takes place on a molecular level, producing a new substance.
There are no physical changes. there are only chemical changes.
No, it is a Physical Change. Physical Changes are concerned with energy and states of matter. A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (condensation, melting, freezing, vaporization, sublimation) are physical changes. Other examples of physical changes include crushing a can, melting ice, and breaking a bottle. Chemical changes take place on the molecular level. A Chemical Change produces a new substance. Some examples of chemical changes include combustion (burning) and rusting of a metal.

Physical Changes
Not all chemical changes are accompanied by a visible physical change. Most chemical changes however will be accompanied by a physical change.
