Chemical and Physical Processes

Mr. Anderson explains the differences between chemical and physical processes in chemistry. Chemical processes involve breaking and forming bonds, resulting in changes like color or gas production. Physical processes involve changes in state without breaking bonds. The video also discusses the gray area of dissolving ionic compounds, which can be seen as either a chemical or physical process. Examples of both processes are provided to illustrate these concepts.

What factors can lead to classifying a process as both physical and chemical?
