This is an example of a physical change, as steam (water vapor) condensing into liquid water on the mirror does not alter the chemical composition of water.

The process you described is an example of a physical change. When steam, which is water in its gaseous form, condenses into liquid water on the bathroom mirror, the water molecules are undergoing a change in state from gas to liquid. However, the chemical composition of the water (H₂O) remains unchanged. Since there is no transformation of the substance into a different chemical, this process is a physical change.
