Detailed Solution

  • A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties and no new substance is formed is called a physical change.
  • In the process of freezing ice cream, only the state of the substance is changed. No new substance is formed. So it is an example of physical change.
  • In the burning of coal, rusting, and the reaction of magnesium with oxygen, chemical reactions take place, thus they are examples of chemical change.
