Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

Answer:
Physical Change:
- A physical change alters the form of a substance but does not change it into another substance.
- It changes shape or size
- It dissolves
- It changes phase (freezes, boils, evaporates, condenses)
- They occur when matter changes its form but not its chemical nature
- Most of these changes are reversible
- Eg. Making orange juice
Chemical Change:
- Chemical changes are changes matter undergoes when it becomes a new or a different matter.
- It burns
- Temperature changes without heating or cooling
- It bubbles (makes gas)
- It changes colour
- It forms a precipitate
- When a substance undergoes this change, its chemical properties changes
- To identify chemical change, look for signs like colour change, bubbling and fizzing, light production, smoke, and presence of heat.
- Most of these changes are irreversible except for the electrolysis of water in which electricity is passed in water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
- Eg. Burning of fire crackers.
