Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Physical \ change}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical change, as the name suggests, must result from a change in the chemical makeup and new substances are produced. A very common example is metal rusting.

A physical change can be observed without a change in chemical composition. No new substances are produces. Ripping paper and an ice cube melting are physical changes.

A rubber band stretching is a physical change. No new substances are made and the chemical makeup remains the same.
