Temperature physical or chemical change

[AMan24]

If you Increase or decrease temperature and change states of matter, that's a physical change.

But are there any circumstances where temperature can cause a chemical change? Like if increasing temperature could break the bonds between the atoms and separate them? And I don't mean a combustion reaction. I'm talking about just temperature change.

And if temperature can cause chemical change, then what if you heat H2O to really high temperatures? Like super high temperatures, would it break up into H2 and O2?

temperature is a chemical change

That's purely nonsensical as stated. I guess what you mean is "are there any circumstances where change in temperature produces a chemical change".

Yes. Water example is a good one.

yeah that's exactly what i meant

Every compound will dissociate at very high temperatures , the water you mention will become a mix , continually breaking apart and recombining ...

At more manageable temperatures there is nitrogen dioxide ... at low temperatures it exists as N2O4 molecules warm it up and there will be more and more NO2 molecules

At 150C it will decompose 2 NO2 → 2 NO + O2 ...cool it down and it recombines.
