A chemical change results in a new substance being formed, while a physical change only alters the physical state or appearance without forming a new substance. Pouring baking soda into vinegar causes a chemical reaction producing carbon - dioxide gas, lighting a match causes a combustion reaction creating new substances, and rusting of an iron nail is a chemical reaction with oxygen forming iron oxide. Breaking a matchstick only changes its physical form, putting ice cubes into soda is a physical mixing and melting process, and painting the walls is just a physical coating process.
