A change in which one or more new substances are formed is called a chemical change.
For example, digestion of food in our body, ripening of fruits, fermentation of grapes, burning of coal, Photosynthesis etc., happen due to series of chemical changes
A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties is called a physical change.
Beating aluminium to make aluminium foil: malleability (beating metal into then sheets) does not change composition.
