Answer:

chemical change.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of changes in matter: physical change and chemical change.

physical change- it is a change in matter that alters only its physical properties or its physical appearance. This type of change is reversible. For example- freezing of water, the water turns into solid ice and it can be reversed by melting the ice.

chemical change- it is a change in matter that alter its chemical and thus its physical properties. Most chemical changes are irreversible. for example- burning of paper, results in black soot and ashes- Thus changing both physical and chemical properties.
