'Melting' is always a physical process.

It is NEVER a chemical reaction or process because molecules (of the water in snow) do NOT change at all when melting. Only their (physical) state (of aggregation) is changed from solid(ice) to liquid (fluid water)

What is an example of oxidation water evaporating sugar melting paper burning or all of the above?

An example of oxidation would be paper burning because it involves a chemical reaction where paper combines with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. Water evaporating and sugar melting are physical changes, not chemical reactions involving oxidation.


Why is melting a physical property of the wax but flammability in a chemical property?

Melting doesn't change the composition of a compound (substance).Burning is a chemical reaction, an oxidation - new compounds are formed.


Is melting salt a chemical reaction or physical reaction?

simply yes, because if you put them together, then the chemicals collide and therefore makes a chemical change.


Is ice cubes melting into water a example of chemical reaction?

No, the melting of ice cubes into water is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to create new substances, whereas melting is a phase change where the substance transitions between solid and liquid states without altering its chemical composition.

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.
