Solution
Physical change: These are changes in which no new substances are formed. These are temporary changes, which are easily reversible. The substance, which is involved in a physical change, does not lose its identity.
Examples:
- Water, if boiled, can be cooled and condensed.
- Mixing of iron fillings with sand is a physical change because they can be separated by a magnet.
