Answer:
melting, freezing, and boiling are physical changes
Explanation:rusting and souring are ex. of chemical, not physical
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A change that does not lead to any difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.
For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, boiling point, etc of a substance are all physical properties.
Boiling of water is a physical change as it leads to conversion of liquid state of water into vapor state.
On the other hand, changes that lead to bring change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical change.
For example, exploding dynamite, rotting cheese etc are all chemical changes.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement no, boiling water is a physical change is true when water is heated, bubbles form in the water. This evidence is not of a chemical reaction.
A hypotheses is a testable idea or explanation that leads to scientific investigation.
