What is the Ability to rust a chemical or physical change explain?

Please don't just copy this; actually learn what I'm telling you. The ability to rust is a chemical change because a new substance was created. Rust was created during the chemical change. If you need more info: A PHYSICAL change is when no new substance is created. Tearing paper is a physical change, because all you have is paper, which you had before. Phase changes are also physical, because you have no actual new substance. When water freezes, it's still water, even if we call it ice because it got harder to the touch. Chemical: Rust, burning (ash is created), bubbling (gas is created), baking (same as burning, just different stuff results), eating/digesting (trust me on that one) Physical: (you're left with the same old stuff, just looking different): ripping, cutting, shredding, melting/freezing/boiling.

What happens when materials undergo physical change?

Physical Change ➢ In physical change, only form or state, size, or shape changes. Example: If a piece of paper is cut up into small pieces it is still a paper. ( A physical change in the shape and size.) ➢ Does not result in a new material; thus, the new form may be changed back into the old form or state. Example: Water turns to ice and ice melting to water. (Ice and water are both H2O. The identity of the matter is not changed, just the state is being changed.) ➢ Physical change affects the appearance.
