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

• A physical change creates new substances, while a chemical change does not.

• A physical change involves a change in state, while a chemical change does not.

• A physical change does not create new substances, while a chemical change does.

• A physical change is reversible, while a chemical change is always irreversible.
