Chemical change are effects that is accompanied by changes in the chemical composition of a substance. When chemical changes occur the new substance are chemically different from the formal substance. A new chemical matter is usually formed after the change occur . Example of chemical changes are rusting of iron, toxicity, combustion(substance burning in the presence of oxygen), ability of substance to react with oxygen.
