Physical change:
Physical changes to matter are those that take place without altering their chemical makeup.
The physical change only affects the physical properties of the matter i.e size, shape, volume, density, state or colour.
Physical changes to a substance nearly always take place quickly and are reversible rather than producing new products.
Examples are boiling water, crushing a can, melting ice, dissolving salt/sugar in water etc.Hence, an example of a physical change is melting an ice cube.
