The answer, on a basic level is no, but it leaves me wondering if you are asking about some particular type of physical change, since the question is a bit far reaching.
The physical change of water from solid (ice) to liquid, for instance, changes nothing in its chemical structure, it is still good old H2O.
On the other hand, the physical change referred to as nuclear fission, ie, the change of the nucleas of an atom, can indeed create a chemical change. Uranium 235, for instance when struck with an additional neutron, will absorb the neutron into its nucleas (pretty much a physical event since the extra neutron is intentionally shot at it by us humans using ingenious devices like cyclotrons), thus making the atom unstable (it was happy the way it was), and causing it to break down into various other chemical substances such as barium, strontium, xenon and other things, but in any case whatever the result, the atomic masses will always add up to 236 (U235 plus the mass of the extra neutron).
So we have taken a molecule of uranium, smacked it with a neutron (a physical action) and caused it to break down into atoms of lower atomic number.
If you are at an elevated level of chemistry, best to study physical chemistry and nuclear chemistry/physics.
If you are at a basic level, the answer to your question is NO.

What else can I help you with?
Is it a physical or chemical change when a substance changes form but it remains the same substance?
it would be physical change because physical change is when the substance stays the same
What are the similarities between chemical and physical changes?
Both chemical and physical changes involve a transformation of matter. In physical changes, the substance's chemical composition remains the same, while in chemical changes, new substances are formed as a result of a chemical reaction. Both types of changes involve the absorption or release of energy.
Changes in properties of matter are called?
physical or chemical changes
Are reversible changes and physical changes the same?
Reversible changes and physical changes are not exactly the same. Reversible changes can be undone and the original substance can be recovered, while physical changes alter the appearance or state of a substance without changing its chemical composition. Physical changes are usually reversible, but not all reversible changes are physical changes.
Is reacting a physical change or chemical change?
Reacting can involve both physical changes and chemical changes. Physical changes involve alterations in the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition, while chemical changes involve the formation of new substances with different chemical compositions.
What is the same about physical changes and chemical changes?
they both change in same ways!
Would freezing an object be physical change or chemical change?
Physical changes and Chemical changes are both the same - this would be a reversible change.

What are the chemical and physical changes of photosynthesis?
There are no physical changes. there are only chemical changes.
What property stays the same during physical or chemical changes?
The mass.

Is twisting a wire chemical or physical change explain?
It is physical. The wire changes shape, but it is still made of the same materials.
Are all physical changes accompanied by a chemical change?
A physical change is a change in chemical composition. A physical change is a change where chemical composition is not altered. Not all chemical changes are accompanied by a physical change, but some are. The same is true for the reverse.
Difference between chemical and physical change?
A chemical change is when the chemical properties of a substance changes and a physical change is when the chemical properties stay the same but the physical properties (shape, temperature etc...)
Are state changes chemical or physical changes?
Physical Changes
