Physical Change
- Any alteration of a substance from its original shape, size, and state
- Temporary changes that can be reversed easily
- Only physical state of matter is changed, internal composition of the substance remains the same
- Examples:
- Ice on heating changes into water, which on cooling changes into ice
- Water on heating forms water vapour, which on cooling gives back water
- Ice cubes → Water → Ice cubes
Chemical Change
- Permanent changes that cannot be reversed
- Internal chemical composition of the original substance changes into a completely new substance
- Examples:
- Burning a paper forms ash, which cannot be changed back to paper and has different properties
- Heating brings a chemical change in the burning of paper
