Question

Stretching a rubber band is a physical change.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Physical change: The change in which no new substance is formed, and the chemical composition of the original substance is not altered.

• A physical change is reversible and there is no formation of a new substance.
• Example: Dissolving common salt$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ in water is a physical change.
• Stretching of the rubber band is a physical change.
• Since only the shape and size of a rubber band are changing and there is no formation of a new substance.

Therefore the given statement is true.
