Is "dissolving in water" a chemical change or a physical change?

A chemical change involves a chemical reaction and the formation of new products...

In contrast, dissolving sugar or another covalent compound is a physical change because chemical bonds are not broken and new products are not formed...

If you dissolve sugar in water, you get sugar molecules in water.

so therefor its a PHYSICAL CHANGE and not a chemical change
