There are two possible definitions for Physical and Chemical changes :

1. A physical change is reversible, a chemical change is not. For example, the freezing of water would be a physical change because it can be reversed, whereas the burning of wood is a chemical change - you can't 'unburn' it

2. A physical change is a change in which no new substance is formed; a chemical change results in the formation of one or more new substances. Again, consider the previous examples: Freezing water into ice just results in water molecules which are 'stuck' together - it's still H2O. Whereas burning wood results in ash, carbon dioxide, etc, all new substances which weren't there when you started.

A chemical change cannot be undone, example baking a cake. A physical change can be undone, for instance melting ice to produce water. You can take it from here.

chemical change: when chlorine bonds with sodium and becomes chloride, it gains an electron, a ion, and chemical change.
when an electron goes through, atomic decay, it loses a proton, and thus goes through a "physical"change. also, when elements, are either heated, melted, or evaporated, where they change physical form, but remain the same element, thus matter.

PHYSICAL CHANGE
something which we can really see touch and feel.
eg:changing of water into ice
CHEMICAL CHANGE
something which occures withen the internal molecules.
eg:one mole of hydrogen sulphide added with one mole of bromine gives to moles of hydrogen bromide and one mole of sulphur
