What is the differnce between physical and chemical change?

Physical changes are changes in appearance, state, or form of matter without altering its chemical composition. Chemical changes involve the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Examples of physical changes include melting ice or tearing paper, while examples of chemical changes include rusting of iron or burning wood.


Are phase changes physical or chemical in nature?

Phase changes are physical changes in nature. They involve a change in the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) rather than a change in the chemical composition of the substance. Heating or cooling a substance can trigger phase changes.


Changes that do not alter the nature of a substance?

Physical changes do not alter the chemical composition of a substance, only its physical appearance or state. Examples include changes in shape, size, phase (solid, liquid, gas), or state of matter (melting, freezing, dissolving).


What is the difference between physical and chemical change give examples?

CHEMICAL CHANGE: Such change is a permanent change and substances go through such changes not only alter their outer shape but also change their composition. For example: conversion of milk into yoghurt is a chemical change PHYSICAL CHANGE: Such change is a temporary change and substances go through such changes alter their shape and volume only but composition remains same. For example: water changes into ice and ice melt to water is a physical change.


How is physical change and chemical change different?

A physical change is when some thing's shape or volume is changed. But a chemical change is a reaction between two or more objects to create something new and you can't get back what you originally started with.

What is the difference between physical and chemical change?

In a physical change the nature of the substance has not changed, just the way it looks, feels or tastes. Examples of physical changes are: glass breaking, water changing into ice, whipping cream. In chemical change the nature or chemical composition of the substance is changed. Examples of chemical change are: iron changing to rust, burning leaves, food spoiling.
