Answer:

Boiling water is a physical change because, during the boiling process, the water will only form steam (water); hence, no new substance is formed at the end of the process. The chemical composition and properties of the original substance (water) are not changed. When water boils, steam is developed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped :)
