What are Physical Changes?

Last updated at April 25, 2026 by

These changes only affect the appearance of a substance.
The original substance remains the same even after the change.
Example
— Melting ice , folding paper , inflating balloon , crushing chalk
When we fold paper into different shapes, we get the same paper back .

Physical Changes Nature = Only appearance changes Examples = Melting ice, folding paper, crushing chalk Result = Same substance remains
