    This document categorizes various examples of change as either chemical or physical changes. It lists examples such as paper burning, wax melting, and a penny tarnishing as chemical changes because they involve the formation or breaking of chemical bonds that alter the composition of the original substance. Other examples like tearing paper, breaking glass, and dissolving salt in water involve no change to the composition of the original substances and are therefore considered physical changes. The document provides short explanations or evidence for each categorization.
