Physical change: It is a temporary change in which no new substance is formed and the mass of the substance remains the same. Hence, dissolving the salt in H2O and melting of an ice cube are physical changes.



Chemical change: It is a permanent change in which a new substance is formed and the weight of the substance changes. Hence, rusting of iron and burning of fuel are chemical changes.
