Not exaclty... A chemical change is anything that changes the chemical compound... Example... Water avaportating.... A physical Change is just changeing apperance... Example... Ripping a piece of paper Its still paper right?...

^wrong, im in grade nine and even i know that's wrong. water evaporating* is completely a physical change. a chemical change is a change that you cannot change back and diffrent particles are chemically combined. for example cooking a pancake, there is no way to make that pancake back into the the powder and water again, it is irreversable. a physical change is something that can be reversable and it isn't just changing appereance it can be changing states as well, water evaportating is a physical change because the vapor can be turned back into the liquid water, as well as water freezing into ice is a physical change because you can melt it and bring it back to its origanal state. you can have solid precipitate forming out of liquids for example potassium iodine mixed with lead nitrate will give you a yellow liquid with white flakes called solid precipitates.

A piece of solid gold that changes from a solid to a liquid is a physical or chemical change?

The change from solid gold to liquid gold is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the gold. The transition from solid to liquid is a result of a change in temperature and does not involve any chemical reactions.

Is a block of ice changing from a solid to a liquid a physical change?

Yes, the process of a block of ice changing from a solid to a liquid is a physical change because the chemical composition of water remains the same during this transition. The change in state from solid to liquid is reversible.

What change takes affect when you change solid to liquid?

A physical change. Changing H2O from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to gas does not cause any chemical change as in the end you still have H2O.
