When a physical change occurs, the compound stays the same. For example, if you boil water, the chemical formula still remains H2O and is a physical change. However, if you were to change the chemical formula, it would be a chemical change. If H2O were split into H2 and O2 gas, it would be a chemical change.

Is it possible for some matter to change under some circumstances and not be called as mixture?

Yes, there are countless ways of changing matter, and perhaps you should be more specific to what type of change e.g. physical or chemical. If you mean a simple physical change then for example altering the shape of the matter is a way of changing it, and so is altering the size or mass. In chemical changes it is also possible to change matter without it becoming a mixture there are many ways of doing it so as to change the matter and create a compound or compounds, or to change it by creating separate elements not mixed.


Five physical properties of matter?

The physical properties of matter are properties that can be observed without causing any change in the matter under observation. Pick any five of the following 17 physical properties of matter:MassWeightHeightLengthDepthVolumeColorOdorLusterHardnessMelting PointFreezing PointBoiling PointDensityMalleabilityDuctilityConductivityNote that some of these properties, like melting/freezing/boiling point, only apply to molecular matter, as subatomic particles wouldn't have these properties.
