No. Sublimation is a physical phase change in which a solid vaporizes without going through a liquid change. Sublimation does not involve a chemical change. Iodine sublimes, passing directly from solid to gas. Clearly, this is not what happens when wood burns.
When wood burns, the first thing that happens is that the wood undergoes pyrolysis, which is decomposition resulting from heat, or destructive distillation. The wood decomposes into a number of gasses, including carbon monoxide, methanol, and a large number of other carbon based chemicals. These combine with air and oxidize, producing mostly carbon dioxide and water.
After the initial pyrolysis, charcoal remains. This burns with air, producing carbon dioxide and ash.

When wood burns burns a chemical reacton occurs in which the in wood?
Yes, all burning processes are redox reactions between oxygen and the material that's burning.
When a match burns the wood showed the property of?
chemical property
Is burning wood sublimation?
Burning wood does not involve sublimation. Sublimation changes a solid to a gas without altering it chemically. Wood burning does involve destructive distillation. The wood is chemically destroyed, and parts of it go off as gasses, which then combust.
What is the process called of wood turn in to ash?
Sublimation

Wood in a fireplace or the ashes in the fireplace after the wood burns has more potential energy?
Wood in a fireplace. When woods burns it gives of heat, a form of energy. Thus the wood has more potential energy.
How does a fireplace work?
it burns the wood
What are the products when wood burns?
ASH,
What burns well for a fire?
Wood,
What burns hotter wood or natural gas?
wood heaters are hotter
What burns on a fire?
What burns in a wood fire is the gas inside the wood, and the heat breaks down particles in the wood, causing the bonds that were broken to release energy and the entire compound then combusted.
