Chemical change
Using hot water to expand a metal cup is a physical change. The change in size and shape of the cup is due to the expansion of the metal atoms when heated, but the chemical composition of the metal cup remains the same.
Nope... sanding a table top is a physical change
First of all lets understand Physical & Chemical Change. Physical change can be reversed and the chemical properties of the two states remain the same. Chemical change cannot be reversed and the chemical properties of the two state are entirely different. Now lets get back to the question. Is growing a tree a physical or a chemical change. The growing of a tree requires chemical changes, primarily the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into cellulose and oxygen. So the growth results primarily from chemical changes.
A physical change simply alters the shape, size, color and physical state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma state) of a material. Melting ice, boiling water, freezing water, mixing sulphur with iron filings, and even tearing paper will produce physical change. Composition of a substance remains unchanged in case of a physical change.A chemical change involves the breaking of old bonds and the creation of new bonds that hold particles (atoms, molecules) together. In this, a new substance is formed. Rusting of an iron, the formation of white ash of MgO when magnesium wire burns are examples of chemical change.A physical change can be reversed by using physical processes such as evaporation, crystallization, distillation, etc; whereas a chemical change can't be reversed using physical processes.
You can break down a mixture by physical means

It is a physical change, as the chemical integrity remains the same.
No, it is a chemical change.
Filtering air to remove dust and pollen is a physical change because the process does not alter the chemical composition of the dust and pollen particles. It simply separates them from the air through physical means, such as using a filter.
It is a physical reaction. Melting is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the substance.
Preparation of pure iron from iron ores involve physical changes but also chemical changes.
No. It is a physical change.
Physical change is preferable because it is easier than chemical method.
A chemical change. If the identity of of the chemicals involved change in identity, it is a chemical change.
Yes, when bleach spills on a shirt and causes the fabric to change color or degrade, it is considered a chemical change. Chemical changes involve a rearrangement of atoms and the formation of new substances.
