Answer:

Boiling Water

Step-by-step explanation:

Boiling water is an example of physical change and not and not a chemical change because the water vapor still has the same molecular structure as liquid water.If the bubbles were caused by the decomposition of a molecule into gas then boiling would be a chemical change.
