What is the difference bettween a chemical change and a physical change

In a physical change, an object can return to it's previous shape, state, size, etc.

In a chemical change, an object cannot return to it's previous shape, state, size, etc.

Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes. Examples of physical changes include crushing a can, melting an ice cube, and breaking a bottle.

A chemical change, also known as a chemical reaction, is a process where one or more substances are altered into one or more new and different substances. In other words, a chemical change is a chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of atoms.
