If you freeze water it becomes ice. Yet, when melting it reverts to water. This is change. If you burn a stick of wood, it becomes ashes. It can never become wood again. This is transformation. Please can you anyone give me a more inspiring example or analogy for transformation |

Are you just looking for examples of chemical reactions that are generall irreversable? I don't believe melting/freezing ice qualifies as a standard chemical reaction (as it's just adding or removing energy from existing molecules). Burning wood, by introducing heat and oxygen chemically alters the molecular makeup of the compound, releasing carbion dioxide (from the carbon in the wood + oxygen in the air) and leaving ash. |

One of nature's most startling transformations is when a caterpillar -- a slow, creeping, wormlike creature -- undergoes metamorphosis, and emerges as a delicate and beautiful butterfly capable of flight. |
