There is no change in chemical composition so they are not chemical changes. As well as the areas of physical chemistry that Ed gave as examples, there are two other main areas of physical chemistry - thermodynamics and kinetics. But all involve the study of chemical changes, i.e. changes in which there is a change in chemical composition. Changes of state are probably best regarded as a domain of physics rather than the domain of physical chemistry - but elementary physical chemistry courses will certainly cover changes of state
