    a) The atoms in propane and oxygen rearrange to form other substances after the reaction.

    Explanation:

    Chemical change:

    The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

    These changes are irreversible

    These changes occur due to chemical reactions

    These may not be observed with naked eye

    Example:

    Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

    Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg.

    The burning of propane is also a chemical change because propane and oxygen converted into water and carbon dioxide by rearrangement of atoms.

    C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
