Making little pieces of the same metal or bending it, just not changing the metal into another substance
I think dhatt the answer is a physical change because if you just bent it then surley you can unbent it and still have a piece of metal.
Physical. The properties of the metal do not change, and it can be undented.
For example is melting.
About 100°C heat can cause it to melt(which is a physical change)
Electroplating is a chemical change. Solutions containing metal ions are placed in a tank, and the piece of metal to be plated is connected to the electrical supply to become the cathode. The metal ions in solution are attracted to the cathode where they are reduced (reduction is gain of electrons) to form a metal coating.
Of itself a metal can not be "shortened". However, a metal OBJECT such as a piece of metal wire can be shortened by cutting a piece off. This would be a physical change.

chemical change
Yes. Oxygen combines with the metal to form an oxide.
Physical
Hitting with a hammer
Yes - and no.... Physically it's still paper - but the information on it can no longer be read.
a proposed piece of legislation is physically put into this by members
For example is melting.
It would get larger due to the expansion of the metal (see the related links)
