in a physical change, no new substance is formed.

for example liquid water. You freeze it, it becomes ice. when you boil it, it evaporates into steam. HOWEVER. Steam, ice, or liquid, it is STILL water.

You only form new substances in chemical changes: cooking/burning food, reacting chemicals etc. : )

Differences between chemical and physical properties?

In a physical change of matter, no new substances are formed. However, physical properties such as size, shape, color, or phase may change. Dissolving, melting, evaporating and grinding are examples of physical change.As a result of chemical change, one or more new substances with new and different properties are formed. The new substances are different from the original substance. Burning and the rusting of iron are examples of chemical change.

Is blending food a physical or chemical change?

For the purposes of a basic chemistry course, blending food is a physical change since it typically involves only a change in particle size to create a mixture. There are cases where blending food causes chemical changes, for instance when mixing the ingredients to make muffins. In this case, the baking soda and acid combine to produce carbon dioxide (among other things), and certain protein substances in the flour combine chemically to form gluten. In the simplest case, however, the blending of food is a physical change.
