Answer:

Chemical change happens when a substance changes they molecular structure, it often involves change in color (rusting iron), transfer of energy (copper smelting), or gas bubbling.

Changes of state is a physical change. An example is ice, it melts to create water. Water then can be freezed back to ice. Water is still H2O in both states(solid/liquid) Dissovling is another example. You can dissolve salt in water and can separate it by evaporating water and leaving the salt behind.

Question:

How are changes of state different from chemical change?

Answer:

Physical changes alter only the size, shape, form or matter state of a material. Water boiling, melting ice, tearing paper, freezing water and crushing a can are all examples of physical changes.

On the other hand, chemical changes are a bit different. In a chemical change, a new substance is formed.
