What is the difference between physical and chemical changes?

In physical changes, the chemical makeup of an atom stays the same, like water turning into ice or steam, everything is still water but a different physical form. A chemical change is where an atom’s chemical make up does change, like wood burning to become soot, which is not wood, or photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water turn into a carbohydrate and oxygen

This scenario is called diffusion. particles are moving from regions of high concentration to low concentration.
