  4. Physical and chemical processes can be classified by the changes occurring on the molecular level. In general, chemical processes involve changes in chemical bonds, while physical processes involve changes only in intermolecular forces. Some processes do not fit neatly into one category: for example, when NaCl dissolves in water, ionic bonds ...

  5. May 3, 2024 · A chemical change results from a chemical reaction, while a physical change is when matter changes forms but not chemical identity. Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting. Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding. Many physical changes are reversible if sufficient energy is ...

  6. Aug 12, 2022 · Physical: boiling and melting are physical changes. When water boils, no bonds are broken or formed. The change could be written: H 2O(l) → H 2O(g) Chemical: The dark grey nail changes color to form an orange flaky substance (the rust); this must be a chemical change. Color changes indicate chemical change.

  7. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, color, volume and density . An example of a physical change is the process of tempering steel to form a knife blade.
