Is water evaporating from a pond a chemical or a physical change?

Evaporation from a pond is not a chemical change. It is a physical change. The water that leaves the pond and goes into the air is not changed from water into some other chemical compound. It's still water, but in the form of a vapor or gas. As the water doesn't chemically change, evaporation is a physical change and not a chemical one.

∙ 13y agoIf water evaportates, it would be able to condense and turn back into water.
I'd say it's a physical change
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.

∙ 13y agoIt is a physical change; the water from the pond is still water when it evaporates it has simply changed it's phase or state. It becomes water vapor or steam rather than liquid water.

Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo, but water EVAPORATING is a physical change because water liquid is still water in the gaseous state.

Is evaporating sea water a physical chemical or nuclear change?
Evaporating seawater is a physical change. Physical changes affect the form, but not the chemical makeup of a substance. The sea water is undergoing a change in states of matter, not a chemical reaction. You can undo the change by condensing the evaporated water .
