Which of the following is a physical change?
- Cooking of food
- Formation of curd
- A glass cut into pieces
- Boiling of eggs
Answer
A glass cut into pieces
Reason — A physical change is a change in which no new substance is formed and the chemical composition of the original substance remains the same, even though some of its physical properties like colour, state, shape, size, etc. may change. A glass cut into pieces will have different size and shapes, but the chemical composition remains the same.
