Plastic bottles do not undergo a chemical change when used as intended, such as holding water or other liquids. However, when plastic bottles are recycled and melted down to form new products, this process involves a chemical change.
The burning of plastic is a chemical change. During the burning process, the molecular structure of the plastic is altered as it undergoes combustion, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
Vitamins are typically kept in colored bottles to protect them from exposure to light, which can degrade their potency by causing a chemical change. Light exposure can lead to oxidation of vitamins and reduce their effectiveness. Colored bottles help block out light and preserve the vitamins' stability.

No, the melting of plastic is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. Melting simply involves a change in state from solid to liquid due to increased temperature, without any chemical bonds being broken or formed.
Melting of a plastic tray is a physical change because it is a reversible process where the plastic changes from a solid to a liquid state without any chemical changes occurring.
