    A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

    For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, hardness etc of a substance are all physical properties.

    On the other hand, a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.

    For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

    Therefore, given changes are correctly matched as follows.

    liquid water freezes into solid ice - physical change wood burns to ashes - chemical change a window shatters when hit with a rock - physical change an old car sits in a junkyard and rusts - chemical change a cup of hot chocolate gives off steam - physical change
