Leaving an apple outside results in a chemical change. This is because, over time, the apple undergoes a transformation in its chemical structure due to factors like oxidation and the activity of microorganisms, leading to rot. Unlike a physical change, which preserves the original substance's properties and appearance, a chemical change alters its characteristics entirely, resulting in a different product with a distinct appearance, such as browning or decomposition.
