Basis For Comparison Physical Change Chemical Change

Physical change refers to a rearrangement of molecules within a substance without changing its chemical composition, resulting in changes like tearing or melting that are reversible and do not form new products. Chemical change transforms the internal composition of a substance into an irreversible new substance with different properties through absorption and evolution of energy during chemical reactions.
