Physical Versus Chemical Changes in Matter

In this video, Mansi explains the differences between physical and chemical changes. Physical changes involve alterations in the physical properties of a substance, such as shape or state, without affecting its chemical composition. Examples include crushing a can or freezing water. Chemical changes, on the other hand, involve changes in the chemical composition, such as burning paper, resulting in new substances. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next session on types of substances.
