No. Changes in phase (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc) are physical changes, not chemical ones. If you raise the temperature of solid fat and it liquefies, that's melting so it's a physical change. Atoms do not get rearranged within the molecules of fat.
But...
When somebody loses weight we slangily say their fat "melted away" when in reality it undergoes a chemical reaction inside the body in order to break down and disappear.

Is melting a type of Chemical change?
no- melting is not a chemical change. It is merely a change in state of the same substance not a chemical reaction.
Is ice melting a physical or chemical reaction?
Physical
How is melting ice a physical reaction?
it is certainly not a chemical reaction, and it is still melting something, so it is a physical reaction. it does depend HOW you melt it, but other than that, it is a physical reaction.
Is melting a fat a chemical change?
No, melting (of anything) is always physical. The reverse proces is easily done: freezing
Why is melting wax a physical properties of flammability is a chemical property?
Melting is a physical property because the chemical composition remain unchanged.Flammability is a chemical property because involve a combustion reaction.
Is ice melting chemical reaction?
ice melting is a physical reaction
Is the melting of ice a chemical reaction?
No.
Is welding by melting a chemical reaction?
no
Is melting of lead a chemical reaction?
No, like all melting it is physical.
Is melting a type of Chemical change?
no- melting is not a chemical change. It is merely a change in state of the same substance not a chemical reaction.
Is ice melting a physical or chemical reaction?
Physical
The melting of ice cubes is a exothermic reaction?
No, it is a physical change, not a chemical reaction.
How is melting ice a physical reaction?
it is certainly not a chemical reaction, and it is still melting something, so it is a physical reaction. it does depend HOW you melt it, but other than that, it is a physical reaction.
Is ice cream melting in a bowl a chemical change?
No. It is purely a physical change, that of melting. No chemical reaction takes place.
Is snow melting when salt is added a chemical or physical change?
Melting of ice with salt is example of physical change as there is no chemical reaction involved .
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Is melting snow a chemical reaction?
yes because it turns into water
