It would be a physical change because it is not changing the chemical composition.
Partly but it is also a chemical property.
A smelly sock is a chemical change because the release of odor is a result of chemical reactions occurring within the sock.
No, a chemical change is usually accompanied by a change in color or odor. A physical change is a change that is the same substance before and after and usually accompanied by a change in state of matter (evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing, sublimating, etc).
Yes, the gasoline evaporating and leaving an odor in a room is a physical change, not a chemical change. The gasoline is still the same substance, but in a different state (gas) and releasing volatile compounds that contribute to the smell.
Actually, when milk turns sour, it is primarily a chemical change rather than a physical change. This occurs due to the fermentation process, where bacteria convert lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, resulting in a change in odor, taste, and texture. The formation of new substances, such as lactic acid, signifies a chemical change, as opposed to a mere alteration of physical properties.
Physical
Vinegar having a pungent odor is a physical property, as it is related to our perception of its scent. Chemical properties, on the other hand, relate to how a substance interacts with other substances on a molecular level.
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)
Partly but it is also a chemical property.
Heat, light, and change in odor can indicate a physical change depending on the context. For example, melting ice into water is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. However, if a substance undergoes a chemical reaction that results in heat, light, and change in odor, then it would be considered a chemical change.
Due to the pungent odor of the chemical, the classroom was cleared.

it is a chemical component which gives bad odor

Spearmint's distinctive aroma is attributed to one of the volatile oils, the chemical carvone.
its physicalAdded:Odor is by many considered as chemical interaction with nasal odor receptors, though this is still under dispute.I, personally, would be more of the 'physical' odor perception, because the odor-creating molecules (eg. in perfume) do not change at all while being 'percepted' in your nose.However there are also undoubtly pure chemical odor perceptions, like those of (gaseous) 'acids', 'ammonia', 'formalin' and hydrogen sulfide.[I would indeed call those pungent odors]
