it is a chemical change because the substance is irreversible

(Alternative):
"Fire" itself is not a chemical change, it is merely incandescent gas. The visible flame is generated from multiple sources: black body radiation of fuel, ash and soot and also by photon emission due to de-excitation of gas molecules. These processes which create the light that we see as fire are not in themselves chemical changes.
Fire, however, needs energy in order to be created. These energy is usually produced by a chemical change, such as a redox reaction. It could also be produced by a nuclear change, such as fusion in the sun's core.

It is physical. The wire changes shape, but it is still made of the same materials.
When a candle is burnt a physical AND chemical change takes place. Its a physical change when the wax is being melted because the chemical structure has not change, meaning it cannot be a chemical change. Its also a chemical change because you are burning the string. When you burn something the chemical structure DOES change, meaning it is a chemical change.
A physical change
Physical change of the paint, not the door.
A beam of light becoming dimmer is a physical change since it is reversible. Recharging its source will make the light beam bright again.
It is physical. The wire changes shape, but it is still made of the same materials.
physical change because chemical changes usually cant be seen
Explain the difference between chemical change and physical change, and provide examples of each. Define chemical change and physical change, and provide examples to illustrate. Differentiate between chemical change and physical change, and give examples to clarify the distinction.
The transformation of sulfur from a bright yellow solid to a different colored solid would be considered a physical change because no new substances are formed. The change in color is due to the rearrangement of sulfur atoms, not a chemical reaction.
both physical and chemical change occur
its physical change.to explain,the conversion of solid to liquid is physical
It is a physical change because when you have a chemical change it changes the properties and makes it into a new thing, and it can't be reversed. Physical changes are usually just changes of states (solid, liquid, gas) and a physical change can be reversed.

A physical change
Melting: change of phase, a physical phenomenon without change of the composition. Burning: a reaction of oxydation, a change of composition - a chemical change.

Breaking of stone is a physical or chemical change? Explain.
