Question

The stretching of rubber band is a/an ___________ (irreversible/reversible) change.

Answer 1

Reversible changes

• Reversible changes are the changes in which changes can be reversed.
• No new substance is formed after the process of these changes.
• For example, Melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing, condensation, and dissolution are reversible changes.
• If a rubber band is stretched by applying a force on it, it returns back to the same position as soon as force is withdrawn, so it comes under reversible change.

Hence, The stretching of the rubber band is a/an reversible (irreversible/reversible) change.
