Distillation is an example of #"physical change"#.

Explanation:

#"Physical changes"# are often changes of state: solid to liquid, fusion; liquid to gas, vaporization; gas to solid, deposition. No chemical bonds are disrupted in this process, except the weak(er) dispersion forces between molecules.
