Bread is not a change. It is a mixture of substances that can undergo physical and chemical changes.
Both.
Physical
The transformation of dough into bread involves both physical and chemical changes. The physical changes include the expansion of the dough during baking due to the release of gases, while the chemical changes involve the reactions between proteins and starches in the dough leading to the formation of a stable bread structure.
Yeast rising bread works because yeast (an organism) converts starch to carbon dioxide which makes bread grow. This can be seen as a chemical reaction (yeast converting starch to CO2 gas) or a physical reaction (the CO2 making the bread expand).
No, physical changes normally refer to changes other than chemical reactions. If you have a loaf of bread and cut it in half, that is a physical change but not a chemical change. If you eat the bread and digest it, that is a chemical change.
Toasting bread is a chemical change because the heat causes the chemical composition of the bread to change, resulting in the browning or caramelization of the sugars in the bread. This change is irreversible, unlike physical changes such as cutting or crushing bread.
It is a physical change
Baking dough into bread is a chemical change because the heat causes chemical reactions to occur in the dough, leading to the formation of new substances such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, resulting in the transformation of the dough into bread.
Slicing bread is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the bread.
Slicing bread is a physical change, because each slice of bread has the same chemical composition as it had before it was sliced.
