Exploring Physical vs Chemical Changes

The video explains the differences between physical and chemical changes. Physical changes do not alter the chemical identity of a substance, such as crumpling paper or freezing water. Chemical changes result in new substances, like burning paper or rusting iron. The video also covers phase changes like boiling and melting, which are physical changes, and highlights examples of chemical reactions, including combustion and corrosion.

What type of change occurs when paper is crumpled?

• Chemical change
