Physical and Chemical changes

Physical changes
The changes in which no new substance are formed,are called physical changes.

In a physical change,the substances involved do not change their identity.They can be easily returned to their original form by some physical changes.

For Ex:Freezing of water,Boiling of water,Condensation of steam,Making a solution,Glowing of electric bulb,stretching of rubber band,cutting or tearing a piece of paper etc.

Chemical Changes
The changes in which new substance are formed,are called chemical changes.

In a chemical change,the substances involved change their identity ie they get converted into entirely new substance.

For Ex:Burning of magnesium ribbon,Rusting of iron,Formation of curd from milk,Cooking of food etc.
