Is the glowing of a platinum wire in a flame a physical or chemical change?

It is a physical change. A physical change involves changing a substance only in its appearance, smell, taste, feel, or sound. A chemical change involves changing what makes up the substance or the way the substance reacts with other substances. When a normal platinum wire is placed over a flame, it glows. This is a physical change because the things that make up the platinum have not been changed, but the appearance has changed.
