Is a odor a physical or chemical change?
AnswerNeither. Odor is not a change at all. Odor is airborne molecules that have a particular smell. A change is a process and odor is not a process. The things which cause odors can be either physical or chemical. For instance, the body odor is caused by chemical changes, but if you open jar of a smelly chemical, that is a physical change (some of the molecules of the chemical are evaporating and are thus airborne).When talking about mixing chemicals and substances, a change in odor is a chemical change.(I assume this is what you meant when you asked is odor a chemical or physical change)
