Distinguish between physical and chemical changes. Include examples in your explanations.

A chemical change takes place when a chemical reaction takes place, while when a matter changes forms but not the chemical identity then a physical change takes place.  

•A product or a new compound formation takes place from a chemical change as the rearrangement of atoms takes place to produce novel chemical bonds.  

•In a chemical change always a chemical reaction takes place.  

•Some of the chemical changes examples are souring milk, burning wood, digesting food, mixing acid and base, cooking food, etc.  

•In a physical change no new chemical species form.  

•The changing of the state of a pure substance between liquid, gas, or solid is a physical change as there is no change in the identity of the matter.  

•Some of the physical changes are melting of ice, tempering of steel, breaking a bottle, crumpling a sheet of aluminum foil, boiling water, and shredding paper.  

Thus, a new substance is formed during a chemical change, while a physical change does not give rise to a new substance.

Chemical changes are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.

Instead the physical changes implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.

Explanation:

A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.

A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.
