Expansion of metals due to heating (as referenced by coefficient of expansion) is a physical change.
Expansion of metals as a phase change (e.g. from alpha to delta-phase plutonium) is likewise a physical change. This is due to different ordering of atoms in the lattice, not just increase in distance due to higher energy in the bonds between them.
Expansion of metals due to void swelling is a physical change.
You'll have to make a semantic decision about something like alpha-particle absorption, where the alpha will take up two electrons from the metal and convert to helium. I consider this a physical change, a bit like ionization in reverse.
Any chemical change that affects 'expansion' -- in particular, through corrosion inclusions -- does not leave the original metal unaffected. (The inclusions will be oxides, chlorides, etc., with very different physical and mechanical properties). While a metal part or component may change shape and size, and this will almost always be an expansion due to the addition of atoms in combination with the metal's, I don't think this is what the original question was asking about. I invite the original questioner to add to or clarify what they mean by 'expansion of metals' if the above isn't clear enough.
No, thermal expansion is a physical property, not a chemical property. It refers to the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature. It does not involve any change in the chemical composition of the substance.
Color is a physical property, not a chemical property. It is determined by how an object interacts with and reflects light, rather than its chemical composition.
Expansion is a physical change because it involves a change in the state or size of matter without altering its chemical composition.
The color of a copper wire is a physical property. Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition.
Yes, melting point is a physical property, not a chemical property. It is a characteristic of a substance that can help identify and differentiate it from other substances based on how it changes states from solid to liquid.
Expansion is a physical property.

No, thermal expansion is a physical change, not a chemical change. It occurs when a material expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature, without any change in the chemical composition of the material.

i am pretty sure it is a physical property! :)
