Nope. All that happens in chemical reactions is that atoms are rearranged into new molecules or compounds. You can't destroy atoms in a chemical reaction so whatever you begin with is what you end up with.

∙ 13y agoDuring a physical change, the atoms remain bound to one another in their original molecular arrangement. If they were molecules they stay as molecules if they were in an ionic interaction they are still ionically bound.
The molecules may break bonds with one another. The water molecules may have enough energy to break the bonds that bound them to other molecules and become a gas.
Summary, atoms keep their original bonding before and after a physical change; molecules may or may not.

When atoms combine is it a physical change or a chemical change?
Chemical
Is a rusting bicycle a chemica or physical change?
Chemical - It's the iron atoms reacting with the oxygen atoms in the air. For future reference, a chemical change is irreversible, whereas a physical change can be reversed, usually quite easily.
All atoms are not same but molecules are same what is it?
chemical and physical change.
What are the signs of physical change and chemical change?
Physical Change: A change in which the atoms or molecules in a substance stay the same. Example: Ripping a piece of paper in half Chemical Change: A change that affects the type of molecules or atoms in a substance. Example: Burning wood The primary difference is that in a physical change, the composition of the substance remains the same, but in a chemical change, the composition of the substance changes.
Which can occur in a physical change?
The mass can increase. The particles can arrange in different ways. The mass can decrease. The atoms can bond to different atoms.
What is edible in physical change?
A physical change is a change where the atoms might get separated but there is no change in it's chemical. It all depends on what you did with the atoms (For example, poisoning something is a physical change), and if the thing itself is edible.
Is Potassium chloride decomposes to potassium chloride and oxygen gas is a physical or chemical change?
Chemical

What happens during physical changes?
The transformation of a liquid to a gas.
How does temperature change during change of physical change?
Temperature remains constant during the change in phase (physical state).
Is Sublime of a solid to gas chemical or physical change?
Change of state is always physical. You have not lost or gained any atoms. Therefore its physical.
What atoms gain electrons during chemical change what change do they acquire?
Atoms have a negative charge when they gain electrons during chemical changes. Atoms are a basic unit of matter, and everything is made of atoms.
What gets rearranged during a chemical change?
atoms, are rearranged during a chemical change.
Is a rusting bicycle a chemica or physical change?

Atoms of one element change in to atoms of another element during chemical reactions?
During chemical reactions atoms remain unchanged.
