Physical process is a process that change the physical appearance of a substance but does not alter the chemical property of the substance. Evaporation is sure a physical process and so as condensation. During both processes, the substance still chemically the same substance. Another example will be melting. During melting gold, for example, you only change the state of the gold from solid to liquid, however, it is still gold.

A chemical process is one that indeed change the chemical property of a substance. In other words, after a chemical process, the substance will be changed to something else that has a different physical property as the previous substance. Combustion is sure a chemical process, as it adds oxygen to the burning substance to create a new substance. Electrolysis, redox reactions, etc. are some additional examples for chemical process.

yes,u r right,evaporation depends on physical conditions such as temperature will increase,more particle will gain enought to go out of container.while combustion is chemical process which occurs when enough oxygen is supplied and products are CO2 AND H2O IF NOT PLENTY OF OXYGEN THEN CO WILL BE TOO PRODUCED

That's right in evaporation it's still Water
but in combustion an object reacts with water to form carbon dioxide and water in most cases.
