A matter change occurs when there is a shift between solid, liquid, gas or plasma states of the same substance. An example of this is water (liquid), ice (solid) and vapour (gas). This matter change is completely reversible, meaning you can keep switching the matter from state to state.
This is a matter of physics.
When you cook an egg, its internal chemistry changes, and this change is irreversible. An egg cannot become 'uncooked'. Because of this, it is not a matter change, even though some of its liquid becomes solid.
