Shredding paper is a physical change, not a chemical property. This is because the process of shredding alters the paper's form and size but does not change its chemical composition. The shredded paper remains paper, retaining its original properties, such as its cellulose content and fiber characteristics.

Shredding paper is a physical change because you can put all the pieces of paper back together again, i.e. it is still paper. The chemical nature has not changed, only the APPEARANCE has changed.

Shredding paper involves cutting it into smaller pieces, which alters its physical form without changing its chemical composition. Once paper is shredded, it cannot be reconstructed back into its original form, making it a non-reversible physical change.
Yes - and no.... Physically it's still paper - but the information on it can no longer be read.
Shredding paper involves changing the physical appearance and form of the paper without altering its chemical composition. The paper is simply being torn into smaller pieces, making it a physical change rather than a chemical one.
