Question

determine whether each statement is an example of a physical change or a chemical change. paper is shredded. ✔ physical ✖ chemical complete an egg is fried. ☐ physical ☐ chemical done ✔

Explanation:

When an egg is fried, the proteins in the egg undergo a chemical reaction due to heat, changing their structure and creating new substances (like the solidified, cooked egg). This is a chemical change because it involves a change in the chemical composition of the egg. Physical changes only alter the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical identity, which is not the case here.
