Question: Why am I growing?

(Please give this answer related to Physical and Chemical Changes.

Why am I growing is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Changes that can be reversed and does not affect the composition of a substance are called physical changes.

For example, change in state of a substance like ice converting into water is a physical change.

Changes that cannot be reversed and affect the chemical composition of a substance are called chemical changes.

For example, a child growing is an irreversible change and hence, it is a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that why am I growing is a chemical change.

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
