Melting, the phase change from a solid to a liquid, is considered a physical change rather than a chemical change because when the phase change takes place, the substance that was melted does not change its chemical composition, and the process could be reversed to get the original condition of the substance by freezing (liquid-solid).

What is the phase change from a solid to a liquid?

The phase change from a solid to a liquid is called melting. This process occurs when a solid substance absorbs enough heat energy to break the bonds holding its particles together, resulting in the particles becoming more loosely packed and transitioning into a liquid state.


Is solid ice melting to a liquid a physical or chemical change?

Melting solid ice into liquid water is a physical change. It involves a phase change from solid to liquid without altering the chemical composition of water molecules.

Does a chemical change occur when a substance changes phase?

No, a change in phase is a physical change, not a chemical change. In a phase change, the substance's state changes (solid, liquid, gas) due to differences in temperature or pressure, but the chemical composition remains the same.
