Of itself a metal can not be "shortened". However, a metal OBJECT such as a piece of metal wire can be shortened by cutting a piece off. This would be a physical change.
They are a physical change because it is not like burning where a new substance is being formed.
no rusting iron is not a physical change it is a chemical change
It is a physical change because the reaction can easily be reversed and no heat is involved.
No. A chemical change occurs only when a new substance is produced with new and different properties. In your example, a physical change occurred because only the metal's physical properties were affected. Nothing new was created.
If by non rusting you mean it is in the same state it was made in then it wouldn't be part of any change. But if something is rusting it would be a chemical change because the metal is changing composition and it is not the same metal it was in the first place.
Physical change
Corrosion is a chemical change
No, it is a chemical change. The metal oxide formed is a new substance.
When a metal corrodes, it reacts with a chemical in the environment to produce a new substance. Often the metal reacts with oxygen to form a metal oxide. A well-known example is iron reacting with oxygen to form iron oxide, known as rust.
chemical change
Vaporization is a physical change.
A metal Surface being ground is a physical change, not a chemical change.
Physical Change, the metal has the same chemical structure and only the shape of the bar has changed
Physical. The properties of the metal do not change, and it can be undented.
It is a physical change because you are changing the shape of the metal.
Metal rusting (corrosion) is a chemical change.
It is a physical change because only its shape changed, not its chemical composition.
