Describe how a physical property, such as mass or volume can change without causing a change in the substance

1.       In the world of science, there are 2 kinds of changes that happen in a substance. The physical and the chemical.
Now, let’s differentiate the two Physical change happens when the physical mass and texture of a certain thing changed without changing the chemical state of the said thing. While chemical change happen when the chemical of the substance change even without changing its physical state.
