If a chemical reaction occurs, it means that a chemical change has taken place, in most cases the chemical changes also lead to physical changes in the substance. Thus, for example, if an oxidation of a substance occurs, it changes its chemical properties but also its physical properties. Thus, the change in color tells us that some physical and chemical change has taken place.
