A physical change involving iron is cutting or filing it into smaller pieces, while a chemical change is rusting, where iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide or rust. The former keeps the same substance unchanged, whereas the latter creates a new substance. Each change exemplifies the distinct nature of physical versus chemical alterations in matter.
