Is color changing in leaves a chemical change or a physical change?

Color changing in leaves is a chemical change. It involves the breakdown of chlorophyll and the production of other pigments due to chemical processes triggered by factors like temperature and daylight changes. This results in the visible color change in the leaves.

The change in the color of tree leaves in fall is an example of a physical change?

The change in the color of tree leaves in fall is actually a chemical change caused by the breakdown of chlorophyll. The colors we see are due to pigments that were present in the leaves all along, but were masked by the dominant green color of chlorophyll during the growing season.


Why do only some trees have leaves that change color?

Leaves change color because the trunk of the tree stops sending nutrients and water and other chemicals to the leaves. In the winder, the tree keeps all the nutrients inside and doesn't have the energy to keep feeding the leaves, so they change color and die and fall off. Trees with leaves that do not change color just means that they don't have this process and are most likely in a warmer climate or survive much better in cold
