Question
which of the following is a physical change? freezing water baking bread rusting metal rotting fruit
A physical change is a change in which no new substances are formed. Freezing water is a phase change (from liquid to solid) and no new substances are created. Baking bread involves chemical reactions (e.g., yeast fermentation, Maillard reactions) that form new substances. Rusting metal (oxidation reaction) and rotting fruit (biological decomposition) also involve chemical reactions that produce new substances.
