Answer 1

• Bursting of balloons is an irreversible change.
• A change that cannot be reversed or cannot get back to its original state is called an irreversible change.
• When an air-filled balloon bursts, the shape and size of the balloon changes.
• The burst balloon cannot be returned to its former shape and size. Hence, this change cannot be reversed.
