What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

• A physical change can only occur in liquids, and a chemical change can occur in a solid, a liquid, or a gas.

• A physical change is when the size, shape, or state of matter changes, and a chemical change is when the molecules of matter change to form a new substance.

• A physical change is when the molecules of matter change to form a new substance, and a chemical change is when the size, shape, or state of matter changes.
