Stacy Wolf · Answer 1

Letters A, E, and F undergo chemical change because new substances are formed as to carbon dioxide, bread, and water vapor respectively, whereby letters B, C, and D undergo physical change because the tall sand castle remains as sand, the raw egg remains as an egg as it hardens (boiled) and the cookies remain as cookies no matter how many times it was divided into smaller pieces. The later substances' chemical composition were never changed nor formed new substances as they undergo physical processes.
