The statement that happens during a chemical change but does not happen during a physical change is:

Atoms of one or more substances rearrange into a new substance.

During a chemical change, substances undergo a transformation where their molecular structure and arrangement of atoms change, resulting in the formation of new substances. This does not occur during a physical change, where the substance may change in state or appearance but retains its chemical identity.
