Here are the classifications for each scenario:

  1. The butter she places on the toast melts.

    • Physical Change
  2. The toast starts burning.

    • Chemical Change
  3. She begins cooking eggs.

    • Chemical Change
  4. She mixes some eggs with a little milk in a bowl.

    • Physical Change
  5. She puts some toast in the toaster.

    • No Change Occurred (the toast is simply being placed in the toaster, and no physical or chemical change has taken place yet)

So the final classification is:

  • Physical Change: 1, 4
  • Chemical Change: 2, 3
  • No Change Occurred: 5
