Question

An example of chemical change is:

• A. water condensing on the outside of your cold beverage
• B. bending a wire
• C. slicing bread
• D. freezing water
• E. burning a candle

Answer 1

The correct option is E burning a candle

The burning of the candle is permanent because once it is burnt it cannot be converted into the candle. A new product is also formed with a composition different from the candle. Hence it is a chemical change. Whereas the rest of the options represent the physical change.

Hence, the correct option is E.
