[Extra information: A physical change only changes the physical traits of the substance, without making any change in its internal structure.

Examples: melting an ice cube, boiling of water, dissolving sugar in water, melting of chocolate,  etc.


Properties of physical change are as follows:

1. Most of the physical changes are reversible. The original form of the matter can be attained.

2. It is a temporary change and no new substance is formed.

3. During a physical change, no energy is absorbed or released

4. Physical change causes changes in physical properties such as shape, size, etc

A chemical change affects the internal structure of the substance and leads to the formation of a new substance.

Examples: Photosynthesis, digesting food, rusting of iron, boiling an egg,  etc.

Properties of chemical change are as follows:

1. Chemical changes are irreversible. The original form of the matter cannot be attained.

2. It is a permanent change and one or more new substance is formed.

3. During a chemical change, energy is produced in the form of heat, light or sound, while during a chemical reaction, energy is either absorbed or released.

4. Chemical change causes changes in the physical and chemical properties of the substance.]
