Physical change. The paper is still a piece of paper; nothing happened to the chemical composition of it.

of course it is a physical change, cutting paper does not change the paper, except change the shape. The paper does not change chemically.

Wadding a piece of paper is a physical change because the only thing about the piece of paper that is changing is its shape, not its chemical composition. You aren't changing how the atoms fit together in compounds, only where the particles exist in space in relation to each other.

Physical- it is still a piece of paper. It can be unwadded. But if you burned it (a chemical change) it is no longer paper, and you cannot unburn something.

A physical change differs from a chemical change in that waste products are formed through chemical changes?

Not necessarily. This only happens in decomposition reactions, where energy reacts to break apart a compound. In, say, a synthesis reaction, sodium and chlorine combine, but don't leave a waste product. A physical change differs from a chemical change in that the product is the same substance, while in a chemical change it forms a/some different substance. Think about ripping a sheet of paper-is it still paper? If you burn the sheet of paper-is it still paper
