which of the following processes is NOT a physical change: drying wet clothes, cutting snowflakes out of paper, lighting a match from a matchbook? lighting a match from a matchbook is not a physical change because it is a chemical change.
Color, phase, odor and boiling point are the physical properties. Reactivity with oxygen depends on the chemical nature of object, thus, it is not a physical property. It is a chemical property.
Some common examples of physical changes are: melting, freezing, condensing, breaking, crushing, cutting, and bending.
(c) Options (i) Melting of iron metal, (iii) Bending of an iron rod and (iv) Drawing a wire of iron metal are physical changes, because in three processes, iron changes its form,not the chemical composition. In rusting of iron, its chemical composition is changed.
All matter exists in the form of solid, liquid or gas. These are called as different states of matter. Matter can change from one state to another by heating or cooling respectively. The vaccum is not a physical state of matter.
(D) Combustion of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
A physical change is the one in which the chemical properties of a substance do not change . In the case of boiling of water and melting of ice, only the physical state of water changes .
Purported non-mental non-physical entities include things such as gods, angels, demons, and ghosts. Lacking physical demonstrations of their existence, their existences and natures are widely debated, independently of the philosophy of mind.
Breaking of glass is a physical change because only the size of the glass changes and no new substances formed after the glass breaks.

What are 7 physical changes?
Physical changes include transitions from one state to another, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. Cutting, bending, dissolving, freezing, boiling, and melting are some of the processes that create physical changes.
Some physical changes that matter can go through are breaking, melting, freezing, cutting, crushing and dissolving.
Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.
“A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties is called a physical change.” The physical changes are reversible in nature. Examples of physical changes are the precipitation of rain and snow as well as ice melting.
In a physical change, form of matter is changed from one form to another but no new substance is formed. Physical changes can be reversible in case of water and it's forms whereas in case of cutting a paper/fruit/tree, the change is neither reversible nor temporary.
Thus, Flammability is not a physical property. It is a chemical change or the one that can be observed when a substance changes into something else. Therefore, the correct answer is option (E).
Color, phase, odor and boiling point are the physical properties. Reactivity with oxygen depends on the chemical nature of object, thus, it is not a physical property.
There are only seven fundamental physical quantities, length, time, amount of substance, electric current, temperature, luminous intensity, and mass. Kilogram is not a physical quantity.
Melting is a physical change because it changes the physical properties of a substance without altering the identity of the substance.
Changes in the size or form of matter are examples of physical change. Physical changes include transitions from one state to another, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. Cutting, bending, dissolving, freezing, boiling, and melting are some of the processes that create physical changes.
What are the 4 changes of a physical change?
Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.
(c) Options (i) Melting of iron metal, (iii) Bending of an iron rod and (iv) Drawing a wire of iron metal are physical changes, because in three processes, iron changes its form,not the chemical composition. In rusting of iron, its chemical composition is changed.

The changes in which only physical properties of substances are changed and no new substance is formed is called a physical change. It is a reversible change. Example: Boiling and freezing of water.
The correct answer is Melting of ice. Among all the given options, Melting of ice involves a physical change. A physical change involves the changes of state from a solid to a liquid or a gas and vice versa. Boiling water, Ice melting into water is an example of this conversion.
Which answer is an example of a physical change?
Examples are boiling water, crushing a can, melting ice, dissolving salt/sugar in water etc.
The correct answer is Water boiling. Examples of physical change are freezing of water, boiling of water, melting of wax, etc. Examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of paper, rusting of metal, silver tarnishing, etc.
