Tarnishing of a silver spoon is a chemical change. It occurs when the silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air or food, forming silver sulfide. This chemical reaction alters the composition of the spoon, resulting in the tarnished appearance.
It is not a chemical change because after cutting the chemical composition remain unchanged.
No, cutting paper is a physical change, not a chemical change. The paper's chemical composition remains the same before and after cutting; only its physical shape is altered.
Yes, tarnishing of a spoon is a chemical change. It occurs when the metal reacts with substances in the environment (such as oxygen or sulfur) to form a new compound, which results in a change in the appearance and properties of the spoon.
YES

Cutting your fingernails is a physical change because the composition of the material (keratin) remains the same before and after cutting. A chemical change involves a change in the chemical composition of a substance.
no,
Chemical Change
Yes, cutting a bar of sodium metal with a knife is a physical change, not a chemical change. The chemical composition of the sodium metal remains the same before and after cutting. The change is only in the physical state of the metal.
Cutting bread is a mechanical or physical change, not a chemical change.
