A physical change is a change in the appearance or state of a substance without any change in its chemical composition.
When iron rusts, it undergoes a chemical change because new substances are formed.
When ice melts, it undergoes a physical change because new substances are not formed; it is simply a change of state from solid to liquid.
The boiling of water is an example of a physical change because the state of the water changes from liquid to gas, without any change in its chemical composition.
