Hello!

Chemical change is when the chemical compound of something is changed. Rotting, burning, cooking, and rusting are just some of the types of chemical changes that can occur. You can often tell when a chemical change is occurring when the substance produces bubbles, forms precipitation, changes color, changes temperature, produces light, changes in volume, and changes it's color or taste.

I hope it helps!

Chemical Change is when "a substance combines with another to form a new substance", and must change the substance as a whole. Chemical Change differs from Physical Change, because Physical Change only changes the appearance.
