  • The change in which the shape , size, appearance or state of a subtance may alter but its chemical composition remains the same is called a physical change . In a physical change, no new substance is formed. Any change that involves the formation of a new substance and leads to a transformation of chemical identity is called a chemical change. Chemical changes are usually accompanied with heat exchanges. Chemical changes are permanent changes which are usually irreversible. Select the incorrect statement (s).
