Yes.

When matter undergoes a physical change, only its physical properties change.

The melting of ice is the physical change of water from a solid state to a liquid state; water is still the chemical compound H2O no matter whether it is solid, liquid, or gas. Grinding a hard rock to a soft powder, stamping a piece of metal into a different shape so it becomes a coin, and compressing a gas into a high pressure cylinder, are other examples of physical change. The individual elements in each substance are the same in any of its physical states, with no change whatsoever to the chemical composition of the matter.
