Is melting a physical property or a chemical property?

Melting is a physical property.Any thing is a physical property if it can be reversed but a chemical property can't.For e.g If you melt ice it will become water but still you can freeze it and form ice again. * * * * * Not true. Many chemical reactions are reversible.


Is using a hot glue gun a physical or chemical change?

Using a hot glue gun involves a physical change. The process of heating the glue stick causes it to melt and then harden when it cools down, which is a reversible change that does not alter the chemical composition of the glue.


Changing water to ice is an example of a chemical change true or false?

I'd say no. Melting just changes the physical properties. Example: A rubber ball. If you melt a rubber ball it will still be rubber, just in a different form.


What are the differences between the physical and chemical?

in changes. Physical changes can be reversed. E.g. if you were to melt a block of ice, and then freeze it again, it would to some degree be reversed. This is a physical change. However, if you were to burn a peace of toast, the change would be chemical. Once the toast is burnt you cant get it back.


Is butter melting on warm toast a chemical or physical property?

It is a physical property. A chemical property would involve the butter reacting to the toast, but the butter is actually reacting to the heat from the toast. The butter would melt against any surface hot enough, where as butter would not melt on cold toast. Hence, the reaction to heat makes it a physical property. (A relatively easy way to remember is that physical properties deal with the transfer of physical energy or force such as heat, inertia, etc. Chemical properties occur when two material substances trade molecules or electrons.)

This is a physical change. Chemical changes are changes in "what things are made out of".


If the melting of water is physical or chemical change?

physical Water cannot melt because it is a liquid. However, a snowflake or an icicle can melt because they are solid states of water. You must understand that water can be in any one of three PHYSICAL states, liquid, solid or vapor ( a gas ). Changing physical states is not a chemical change, but a direct result of heat or cold application.


If iron is heat to 2000 degree Celsius is it a chemical reaction?

No. The iron would melt, which is a physical change.


Is something that melts easily a chemical property?

Yes, the ability to melt easily is a physical property of a substance, not a chemical property. Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances or undergoes chemical changes.
