Answer:

Chemical change is basiclly chemical reaction that creates new substances, sometimes can be hard to observed. The melting of the ice only involves in changing the form of the matter, from solid to liquid form, it doesn't transform the substance which is water into another substance. Therefore, the melting of ice is not a chemical change, but rather a physical one.
