Writing on paper is considered a physical change because it alters the surface of the paper without changing its chemical composition. The ink is deposited onto the paper, creating marks or letters, but the paper itself remains fundamentally the same material. This change is reversible to some extent, as the ink can be erased or overwritten, further supporting the idea that it is a physical alteration rather than a chemical one.

It is a physical change because it is still a sheet of paper.
It is a physical change as the paper is still paper after you fold it.

Writing with a pen involves a physical change rather than a chemical change. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances with different chemical properties, while in writing with a pen, the ink is simply transferred onto the paper without any chemical reactions occurring. The ink may undergo physical changes such as drying or adhering to the paper, but the chemical composition of the ink remains the same.
No. It is a physical change, because the graphite is still graphite.

Tearing paper represents a physical and not a chemical change. Chemical bonds are not broken in this instance, but paper is physically separated (by force) from other paper.

It is a physical change as the paper is still paper after you fold it.

Coloring on a white piece of paper is a physical change because the color change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the paper. The paper remains paper even after coloring on it.

physical change. You know that it is a physical change because it can be reversed. An example of a chemical change would be cooking an egg. Because you cannot reverse the process.
