Why is burning a chemical change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: New substances are formed

The direct answer is A: new substances are formed. A chemical change is a change in which the original substance changes into one or more different substances with new properties. During burning, the material reacts with oxygen in air. For example, wood or a fuel can form carbon dioxide, water vapour, ash, smoke, and heat. These products are not simply the original material in a different shape or state. Option A is correct because formation of new products is the main sign of a chemical change. Option B is wrong because changing only shape, such as cutting paper, does not make a new substance. Option C is wrong because changing only state, such as melting ice, is a physical change; the substance remains water. Option D is wrong because burning involves an actual reaction with oxygen. Memory cue: new substance means chemical change; only shape or state means physical change.
