Butter melts when you heat it in a pan on the stove. Is this a chemical change or a physical change? How can you tell?

This is a physical change because even though it went from a solid to a liquid, it's still butter. If it were a chemical change that would mean it's not butter anymore.

It is still **butter **while **changing **from a solid to a liquid , hence this is a physical shift. If there were a chemical alteration, butter would no longer exist.
What is meant by** physical change**?
When the **physical **properties of matter change , there is a type of change known as physical change . Alterations in colour, smell, solubility, and the **state **of matter are only a few examples of physical changes . A **physical transition **does not affect the **chemical **composition or substance of stuff .
A **physical change **does not generate a substance. **Changes **in condition or phase are examples of physical changes . The procedure can be undone. It undergoes momentary changes. Examples of **physical changes **include crushing a can, melting an ice cube , and shattering a bottle.
A **physical change **is a particular type of change when the **makeup **of the **substance **is altered but not transformed .

Melting butter is a physical change because it changes from solid to liquid while retaining its identity as butter. The chemical composition remains the same, which is characteristic of physical changes. Additionally, this transformation is reversible, further confirming that it is a physical change.
