Is shredding paper a physical or chemical change?
Explain why?

Answered by maham237 @



Shredding paper would be a physical change because the paper isn't changing on a molecular level, only the physical aspects of the paper change. In simple terms, a new substance is not created during a physical change so shredding paper is a physical change.
