if during a change the chemical composition of the reactants change or any new products are formed then the reactant is said to undergo chemical change.

if the state, color, phase or any other physical properties of the reactant change without any change the chemical composition of the reactants or formation of any new substances then it is said to undergo physical change

Is burning toast in the toaster physical or chemical?

Yes, it is. The process by which heat changes the molecules of the bread from white and soft to brown and crispy is a chemical change. A chemical change does NOT mean you have to add chemicals. It just means the chemicals (molecules) in the substance changed their chemistry. So slicing bread is a physical change, but toasting it is a chemical change.

Why isn't the freezing point of a liquid a chemical property?

Because when something freezes, the atoms and molecules don't undergo a chemical change, they go through a physical change. By this, I mean that the individual atoms and molecules lose kinetic energy (energy that makes you move) in order to freeze. There is no chemical change here. Rather, the molecules and atoms are slowing down physically.
