Video: Chemical Change explained in an easy to understand way.

Imagine you're baking a cake and once it's in the oven, there's no way to return it to its original ingredients like flour, eggs, and sugar. This is similar to a chemical change, where substances interact to create a completely new substance, much like how baking transforms your ingredients into a cake. Just as you can't extract raw eggs or flour from a finished cake, a chemical change is irreversible and results in the formation of a new substance, highlighting how the process fundamentally alters the original materials.
