Mrs. Seals' class is doing their science classwork and needs to classify the process of water boiling into steam.

Sophia determines boiling water is a chemical change because boiling water creates steam, which is a new substance. Landon disagrees with Sophia and says boiling water is a physical change because it is a change in the state of matter.

Who is correct and why?

• Sophia is correct because the change is creating a new substance.

• Landon is correct because a change in the state of matter is always a physical change.

• Sophia is correct because by creating steam, the change is irreversible.

• Landon is correct because a change in the state of matter occurred, but is a chemical change.

• Neither Sophia or Landon are correct because water cannot undergo a physical or chemical change.
