One example of stretching a rubber band is pulling it from both ends to increase its length and storing potential energy in the process.
Yes - it's still a rubber band.
Stretching a rubber band is a physical change because it alters the shape and size of the rubber band without changing its chemical composition. The rubber band can return to its original state by releasing the tension, demonstrating that no new substances were formed during the stretching process.
Stretching of a rubber band is a physical change because the molecular structure of the rubber remains the same even after it is stretched. No new substances are formed during stretching, and the rubber band can return to its original shape and properties once the force is removed.
It has potential to do work. Looking at it another way, it requires energy to stretch the rubber band; this energy can be recovered - for example, by pulling something - when the rubber band gets back to its normal position.
You can give a rubber band potential energy by stretching it. When you stretch a rubber band, you are doing work on it, which causes the rubber band to store potential energy in the form of strain energy. This potential energy is released when the rubber band is allowed to return to its original shape.

If the stretching of a rubber band is too much, it can lead to the band losing its elasticity and eventually breaking. This is because the molecular structure of the rubber band becomes permanently deformed, affecting its ability to return to its original shape.
Rubber is elastic. After streching is stopped, it will regain its shape.
To prevent injuries while stretching a rubber band to its maximum capacity, make sure to wear eye protection and gloves, stretch the band slowly and evenly, and avoid overstretching it beyond its limits. Be mindful of your surroundings and keep a safe distance from others while stretching the rubber band.
Elastic potential energy.
This depends on the size of the rubber band, the materials and impurities in the rubber band, and the speed at which you stretch it, as well as the conditions that the rubber band has been under.
