chemical change.
What is an example of a chemical change wood burning glass breaking water freezing?
The chemical change is the burning wood because the products, carbon dioxide, water, ash, and soot, have different physical and chemical properties. The other changes are physical changes because the physical and chemical properties of the substances did not change.
