This involves a change of state of the water. Before, during, and after the boiling, it remains water. So, since the substance doesn't change its character, the boiling of water is a physical change.
It depends on what is boiling. If you are boiling WATER, then it is NOT a chemical change, it is a physical change (change of state from liquid to gas). If you are cooking food on the stove, a chemical change is occuring. That is, the chemical bonds within the food molecules are actually changing. One way you can tell that it is a chemical change is that you can't "uncook" food, but you can condense steam back into water.
Burning is a chemical process !
No. Unlike most other cooking methods, boiling pasta is basically just getting it wet. Any time you see a color change or a phase change (between gas, liquid, or solid), you've seen a chemical change (although not necessarily a reaction in the case of a phase change).
Breaking a glass. This is a physical change as the glass does not transform into a different substance. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to produce new substances.
No. Many physical processes occur by artificial means. Boiling water on a stove or freezing it in a freezer is one common example.

Yes. But before you write that on your homework, be very sure the question that you asked here is exactly the same as the one your teacher asked on your homework; I suspect it may not be.

An apple turning brown is a chemical change because it involves a reaction that changes the chemical composition of the apple. Food burning on the stove is also a chemical change as it involves a combustion reaction that changes the chemical composition of the food.
When LPG gas burns on a gas stove, it undergoes a chemical change as it reacts with oxygen to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. This is a combustion reaction. The physical change involved is the change in state of the gas from a liquid to a gaseous form as it is released from the cylinder and then burns.
As you may know, determining whether a change is chemical or physical can sometimes be a real pain! This particular change is a hard one. If your talking about butter slightly melting on a hot day because it was left out on the counter, THAT is a physical change and is reversible by simply putting the butter into the fridge. However, melting butter on the stove and having it completely turn to liquid and turn a little brown, THAT is a chemical change and is hard to reverse... a chemical change has occurred while the butter was over the heat.
The burning of sauce on a stove is a chemical change. This is because the heat from the stove causes the molecules in the sauce to break apart and rearrange into new substances, such as carbon compounds and ash. This chemical reaction is irreversible and results in a change in the chemical composition of the sauce.
Freezing it should only be a physical (not chemical) change. cutting it in half
Dissolving in water is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the substance. The molecules of the substance are simply surrounded by water molecules and dispersed throughout the solution without undergoing a chemical reaction.
No. Unlike most other cooking methods, boiling pasta is basically just getting it wet. Any time you see a color change or a phase change (between gas, liquid, or solid), you've seen a chemical change (although not necessarily a reaction in the case of a phase change).
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.
Cooking is a chemical change; but some physical changes may be involved: de freezing, liquefaction, evaporation.
