No, it is a physical change. When the butter cools and
solidifies, it's composition is unchnged.
Melting butter is a physical change... it's still butter.

Is butter becoming rancid a chemical change?
It is a chemical reaction when butter is turning rancid. When
butter is just melting, this is called a physical reaction.
Asked in Butter and Margarine
Is melting butter a physical change or chemical change?
As you may know, determining whether a change is chemical or
physical can sometimes be a real pain! This particular change is a
hard one. If your talking about butter slightly melting on a hot
day because it was left out on the counter, THAT is a physical
change and is reversible by simply putting the butter into the
fridge. However, melting butter on the stove and having it
completely turn to liquid and turn a little brown, THAT is a
chemical change and is hard to reverse... a chemical change has
occurred while the butter was over the heat.
Asked in Butter and Margarine
Explain why burning butter is a chemical change but melting is not?
Melting: change of phase, a physical phenomenon without change
of the composition.
Burning: a reaction of oxydation, a change of composition - a
chemical change.
Asked in Science
Is melting butter an example of chemical change?
Partly physical, partly chemical. Melted butter has different
chemical properties than solid butter. The melting process, as with
chocolate, is not reversible. Proteins in the butter can become
denatured, and isomerization of lipids to trans fats occurs. Phase
change is a common example of physical change, but chemical change
also occurs in this case.
Asked in Butter and Margarine
Exposure of butter to atmosphere a chemical or physical change?
Melting in a warm atmosphere is a physical change; but the
oxydation in air or the thermal degradation of butter are chemical
changes.
Asked in Chemistry
How is melting butter a chemical change?
Because the butter goes from being a solid to a liquid as it
changes temperature.
Asked in Chemistry
Is melting butter a chemical or physical?
Melting butter is a physical change. Although the state of
matter changes(solid into liquid), it is still the some
substance.

Is welding pieces of metal is chemical change?
not it can always be changed back to its original shape. but if

like melting butter and burning butter. burning is chemical,
melting can be cooled again into its original form.

Asked in Butter and Margarine
Butter browning in a skillet a physical or chemical change?
Melting of butter is a physical change, a change of phase; but
the brown color, at high temperature, is an indication of thermal
decomposition - this ia a chemical change (change of
composition).
