Chopping an onion is considered to be a physical process. Chopping an onion is not a chemical process because it does not change the chemical composition.
Cooking an onion involves both chemical and physical changes. The heat causes physical changes such as softening and browning of the onion as well as chemical changes such as the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler compounds, resulting in new flavors and aromas.
Onions contain a compound called syn-propanethial-S-oxide. When an onion is cut, this compound is released and reacts with the water in our eyes to form sulfuric acid, which irritates the eyes and causes tears.
Onion skin turns red in acid and green in alkali due to the presence of anthocyanin pigments that change color based on the pH of the solution.
Propanethiol S-oxide is a chemical compound found in the onion plant. When an onion is cut or damaged, enzymes present in the onion convert sulfur compounds into propanethiol S-oxide, which further reacts to form syn-Propanethial-S-oxide - a volatile gas that causes eye irritation and tearing when cutting onions.
Onion Clove and Vanilla are Indicators . They indicate if a susbstance is Acidic or Basic in nature by changing their smell . These type of indicators which change smell are known as "olfactory indicators".

Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
To cut an onion into wedges, first cut off the top and bottom ends of the onion. Then, cut the onion in half from top to bottom. Lay each half flat on the cutting board and cut into wedges by slicing perpendicular to the layers of the onion.
The different ways to cut an onion include slicing it into rings, dicing it into small pieces, chopping it into larger chunks, and mincing it finely.
=== === Yes, the onion can kill the cockcroach because they contain a sulfur-rich volatile oil, peeling or slicing them can cause a person's eyes to tear. This onion has concentric leaf bases having a pungent odor and taste.
You are crushing the onion not slicing it releasing more of the oils.
When an onion is heated, the chemical reaction that occurs is caramelization. This reaction involves the breakdown of sugars in the onion due to heat, resulting in the browning and sweetening of the onion. Additionally, when onion is heated, sulfur compounds are released, giving it its distinct aroma and flavor.
there isn't one, for onion powder is a powder
I've never heard of it, thanks for letting me know about it.
Yes, if you leave a normal cooking onion in water in will sprout spring onions.
Therew is only to types of weathering in my knowledge and they are Mechanical and Chemical (in scientific term). Mechanical is also know as physical.
