Eggs change color when heated because the protein molecules aggregate and become insoluble.

Normally, the white of an egg is clear because the proteins are dissolved in water.

However, when the egg is cooked, these proteins aggregate, or stick to proteins around them. These agglomerated proteins block the light differently and change the color of the egg.

What causes a chemical change when you prepare scrambled eggs?

A chemical change occurs when preparing scrambled eggs due to the denaturation of proteins in the egg whites and yolks. When eggs are heated, the proteins unfold and recombine, resulting in a change in texture and structure. This transformation is irreversible; once cooked, the eggs cannot return to their original raw state. Additionally, the Maillard reaction may occur, contributing to flavor and color changes.

Is turing eggs into an omelette a chemical or physical?

Eggs turning into an omelette is a chemical change. When you cook eggs, they will most likely bubble or fizz. Bubbling or fizzing is a sign of a chemical change. Also, once the egg is turned into an omelette, you are never able to change it back into an egg. Physical changes are reversible, and chemical changes are not easily reversed. Eggs turning into an omelette is a chemical change. Hope I helped :)
