The reddish-brown spots on a bread knife are typically a result of rust, which is a chemical change. Rust forms when iron in the knife reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide. This process alters the chemical composition of the metal, distinguishing it from a physical change, which would not involve such a transformation.
Slicing bread is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the bread.

Both, the reddish spots are rust and a chemical change. You will also find (after you have rubbed off the rust) that the surface of the knife is pitted. These pits are a physical changed caused by the chemical reaction.

bread is a chemical change, not a physical change
Slicing bread is a physical change, because each slice of bread has the same chemical composition as it had before it was sliced.

No, slicing bread is a physical change. The act of cutting the bread into smaller pieces does not alter its chemical composition.
