'''Physical change''is a concept introduced to contrast with the concept of [[chemical change]]. A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemica lhehe he. identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break apart to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density.

'''Victor Okechukwu Agali''' (born [[December 29]], [[1978]] in [[Okpanam]]) is a [[soccer|football]] [[striker]] from [[Nigeria]]. He has played for [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] at a number of occasions, including the [[Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Summer Olympics]]. He was surprisingly omitted from the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] squad.


An exmple of a physical change occurs when making a baseball bat. Wood is carefully crafted into a shape which will allow a batter to best apply force on the ball. Even though the wood has changed shape and therefore physical properties, the chemical nature of the wood has not been altered. The bat and the original piece of wood are still the same chemical substance.
At the age of 17, Agali was the top goalscorer in the Nigerian second division, and was picked up by [[List of football clubs in France|French club]] [[Olympique Marseille]]. Finding it hard to establish a first team place, he played for Toulon, where he performed well. He attracted interest from Italian giants [[AC Milan]], but ended up in [[Germany]]. In the 2003/04 season he went [[AWOL]] and fell out of favour at [[Schalke 04]], his club. From 2005 to 2007 he played in the [[Turkish Premier Super League]], returning to German Bundesliga-team Rostock in August 2007. At Rostock Agali did not do well, after just one goal in 23 league matches he was given a free transfer to the Greek club [[Skoda Xanthi FC]].

Changes are sometimes hard to categorize strictly as physical or as chemical. Dissolving a salt in water involves the breaking of chemical bonds, yet is often described as a physical change. Some teachers hold that a chemical change is a rearrangement of atoms, but many physical changes also involve the rearrangement of atoms. Many chemical changes are irreversible, and many physical changes are reversible, but reversibility is not a certain criterion for classification. Although chemical changes are often recognized by an indication such as odor, color change, production of a precipitate, or production of a gas, every one of these indicators can result from physical change.

'Physical changeis a concept introduced to contrast with the concept of chemical change. A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemica lhehe he. identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break apart to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density.

An exmple of a physical change occurs when making a baseball bat. Wood is carefully crafted into a shape which will allow a batter to best apply force on the ball. Even though the wood has changed shape and therefore physical properties, the chemical nature of the wood has not been altered. The bat and the original piece of wood are still the same chemical substance.


Changes are sometimes hard to categorize strictly as physical or as chemical. Dissolving a salt in water involves the breaking of chemical bonds, yet is often described as a physical change. Some teachers hold that a chemical change is a rearrangement of atoms, but many physical changes also involve the rearrangement of atoms. Many chemical changes are irreversible, and many physical changes are reversible, but reversibility is not a certain criterion for classification. Although chemical changes are often recognized by an indication such as odor, color change, production of a precipitate, or production of a gas, every one of these indicators can result from physical change.

Examples of Physical Changes

  • Change of state (such as from solid to liquid or from gas to liquid)
  • Absorption of water into a towel
  • Crumpling a piece of paper
  • Pulling copper into a thin wire - a change of shape, but not a change of composition
  • Cutting a material such as wood
  • Ripping a piece of tin foil
  • Breaking glass * Deflating a basketball
  • Washing clothes
  • Writing on a sheet of paper
