Physical (not chemical) changesNaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)Added:These are NOT chemical changes. In solid NaCl there are already Na+ and Cl- ions present in the (fully ionic)crystallic matrix. These ions are only separated by the water molecules. This is exactly what is called: 'dissolving'
It is simply a chemical change.

The dissolution of salt in water is a physical change (not a chemical change) because even after the salt (NaCl) is all dissolved, it is still NaCl but in a ionized form, like Na^+ and Cl^-. So, there has been no chemical change at all, only a physical change in going from a solid to a solution.

Sodium chloride is dissociated in water: NaCl---------------------Na+ + Cl-
Making table salt (NaCl) from sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) is a chemical change but if it is just in a shaker, then no it is not.

When ammonium chloride(NH4Cl) is dissolved in water the solvation process itself is a physical change, NH4Cl changes from one of its state (crystalline) to solution, where NH4+ and Cl- ions are surrounded by water molecules.
