No, melting ice is a chemical change where as carving ice is physical....
Another example is chewing food is physical where as enzymes in your saliva breaking down the food is chemical.

Is the melting of ice a physical change or a chemical change?
The melting of ice is a physical change, a change from the solid phase to a liquid phase by adding heat energy. The water can be refrozen into ice again, because it is the same chemical compound, H2O.Melting does not change the chemical elements in the ice (water), only their molecular form.Frozen water turns to liquid water. It is still water, so melting would be a physical change.
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Is Change of state is chemical or physical property?
No, a change of state is not a chemical change, for it can be changed back to its original form and their is no change in the molecular composition of the substance. A chemical change is when it cannot be changed back. The above example is an example of a physical change. Example:- ice when heated changes into water and water when cooled changes into ice.
Can you explain the difference between physical changes and chemical changes?
Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.
What are examples of physical chemical and nuclear change in the same matter?
Physical change: Water freezing into ice Chemical change: Water being broken down into hydrogen and hydroxide ions after the addition of a pure metal.
Is this statement true Ice being broken into small bits is an example of a chemically change?
No it is not, as the ice will still retain its chemical properties. This is an example of a physical change. Remember that the indicators of a chemical change are a change in colour, a change in odour, a change in temperature, the formation of a precipitate, or a gas being given off.
Is ice melting ice a physical or chemical change?
melting ice a physical change
Is meal mealting ice a chemical or physical change?
Melting ice is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the water.
Is the melting of ice a chemical change or a physical change?
its both a chemical change and a physical change.
Is melting ice into water a chemical change?
No. It is a physical change. The chemical formula for water is H2O, and that is also the chemical formula for ice. So there is no chemical change taking place, only a change in the state of matter.
Is a ice melting physical or chemical change?
melting ice a physical change
Ice dissolving in a glass of lemonade a physical or chemical change?
its a chemical change
Is a ice pack a chemical change?
Nope - ice and water both have the same chemical formula. The only change is with temperature.
Is ice a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change. It is still the same substance.
Melting of ice chemical or physical change?
Melting ice is a physical change, because there is no new substance formed. The only thing that changes is the state of matter.
Is the melting of an ice cube considered a physical change or chemical change Explain your reasoning?
The melting of an ice cube is considered both a physical change and a chemical change simply because a chemical change is something burning, so if the ice cube is cold and hot at the same time, it's both a physical change and a chemical change.
Is an ice melting a physical or chemical change or both?
Ice melting is a physical change.
