Solution

The correct option is B False
  • The changes which can be observed and specified like changes in color, hardness, rigidity, fluidity, density, melting point, boiling point, etc. are the physical changes.
  • A chemical change is a change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. It involves the making or breaking of bonds between atoms.
  • Here, the mixing of sulfur and iron filings does not alter the chemical composition of a substance, and iron filings can be separated from the mixture by using magnetic separation. Hence it is a physical change.

Hence, the given statement is False.
