Yes, it is a chemical change.

It only takes one experience with a rotten egg to learn that they smell different that fresh eggs. When eggs and food spoil, they undergo a chemical change. The change in odor is a clue to the chemical change

Chemical Reactions

Chemical Changes are also called Chemical Reactions. Chemical reactions involve combining different substances. The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties.

Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance. The same number of particles that exist before the reaction exist after the reaction.
