Burning popcorn and making water both involve chemical transformations. When popcorn is heated, the moisture inside the kernels turns to steam, causing them to pop; if burned, it undergoes combustion, producing smoke and ash. In contrast, making water typically involves a chemical reaction where hydrogen and oxygen combine, either through combustion or electrolysis. Both processes illustrate changes in states of matter and the conversion of energy.

All popcorn contain a small amount of water. When the popcorn gets heated the water inside the popcorn kernel turns to steam. The steam then starts to pressure the kernel shell and soon bursts making the kernel inside out, and the soft stuff inside the kernel puffs.
Is burning hydrogen a chemical property?
Burning hydrogen is a chemical change rather than a chemical property. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances with different chemical compositions, as in the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water. A chemical property, on the other hand, describes how a substance can undergo a chemical change.
