Eliana cuts a watermelon into several slices. Which statement best describes the physical change?

Answer: Indeed this is a physical change.

Explanation: The explanation is based in, firstly, sliding a watermelon does not produce a new substance. It is the same component but with a different look. On the other hand, when we are talking about a chemical change it is because a new substance was produced, in most cases due to a chemical reaction, for example, combustion.

The change was purely physical, not chemical in nature?
