Question
physical or chemical change? evaporation. physical chemical
Evaporation is a change of state from liquid to gas without altering the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, the substance's chemical identity remains the same, only its physical state changes. In evaporation, water (for example) changes from liquid water to water - vapor, but it is still composed of H₂O molecules. In a chemical change, new substances are formed with different chemical properties. Since evaporation doesn't create new substances, it is a physical change.
