Detailed Solution

The above statement is false
A change in which a substance changes its physical properties, i.e., shape, size, colour, state, or appearance of the substance change is called a physical change, which is generally reversible in nature. In these physical changes, the chemical composition remains intact, and no new substance gets formed. For example, boiling water to form steam is not a chemical change since the chemical composition of water remains the same, even after being converted into steam.
The corrected statement would be that, “The process of boiling water to form steam is not considered as a chemical change”.
