Lighting matchsticks is considered a physical change because it involves a change in the state of the matchstick (from solid to flame) without altering its chemical composition in the initial phase. The heat generated causes the matchstick to ignite, producing light and heat, but the matchstick itself is still fundamentally a solid material until it burns away. However, the act of burning does lead to a subsequent chemical change as the materials transform into ash and gases.
lighting is a chemical change
Lighting is a physical change, not a chemical change. When a light switch is turned on, the flow of electricity through the bulb causes it to emit light, which is a physical reaction. No new substances are formed during this process.
Fireworks involve both physical and chemical changes. The lighting of the firework (ignition) is a chemical change that triggers a series of reactions which results in the colorful display seen (physical change) as different elements are heated and produce light.
A firework undergoes both physical and chemical changes. The lighting of the firework involves a chemical reaction within the firework's composition to produce the colors and effects seen in the sky. The transformation of the firework materials into smoke and ash after the display represents a physical change.
Lighting fireworks involves both chemical and physical changes. The combustion of the chemical compounds in the fireworks produces gases and heat, which is a chemical change. Simultaneously, the explosive reactions cause physical changes, such as the release of light and sound, and the transformation of solid materials into gases and particles. Thus, the process encompasses both types of changes.

It is a chemical change.
Yes, lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change, not a physical change. When the match is struck, the chemicals on the match head react to produce heat, light, and a flame. This transformation is a chemical reaction, not just a change in physical state.
when lighting strikes the lightning dosnt stay the way it ws it dissapears away and it moves some where else and when it moves it changes its shape that is why lightning is a physical change
lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change.
Mainly chemical (oxidation).
This is a little tricky. Striking a match is a physical act, but it does induce chemical changes. It depends on exactly what you mean by "lighting", ultimately. The end result is definitely a chemical change.
Lighting is a physical change, not a chemical change. When a light switch is turned on, the flow of electricity through the bulb causes it to emit light, which is a physical reaction. No new substances are formed during this process.
Lighting a match is a chemical change because the molecules in the matchstick undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat, resulting in the production of new substances like ash and smoke.
Lighting a match is not a physical change because it involves a chemical reaction that produces heat and light, resulting in the transformation of the matchstick. Drying wet clothes and cutting snowflakes from paper are physical changes because they involve a change in appearance or state of matter without altering the chemical composition of the substances.
Matchsticks are used for creating a small flame by striking the head against a rough surface. They are commonly used for lighting candles, stoves, and small fires in outdoor settings. Matchsticks are compact, portable, and provide a convenient way to start a fire in various situations.
Borrowing Matchsticks was created in 1980.
