The main difference between physical and chemical change is that physical change does not produce a new substance, and chemical change creates a new substance.
We will now show this on the diameter of the iron:
-
if we take a piece of iron and start to melt it at a certain temperature, there will be a change in its physical state, but there is no change in its composition. It is a physical change.
-
if we expose a piece of iron to the air, rust will appear after a while. It is an oxidation process and it is a chemical change.
