The following does NOT indicate that a chemical change may have taken place is fracture formation. A chemical change happens when the substance changes its physical state and composition resulting from a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction may either give off or absorb energy. A change in color is a chemical change. For example, litmus paper turns to red when placed in an acid solution. Production of gas is a chemical change. For example, adding hydrochloric acid to the tiles of the bathroom gives a hissing sound with gases given off. Formation of a precipitate is also a chemical change. Change in shape is not a chemical change.

 

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical changes are defined as the change which tend to show difference in chemical composition of a substance.

For example, toxicity, reactivity, combustion, change in energy, precipitation etc are all chemical properties.

A chemical change will always lead to the formation of a new compound and this change is irreversible in nature by any physical means.

On the other hand, a change which is unable to bring any difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, change in shape, size, mass, volume etc are all physical properties.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options fracture formation does NOT indicate that a chemical change may have taken place.
