Something burning is a chemical change because it is combining with the oxygen in the air. Ex. when you burn sugar you get c02 and water, the reason the water doesnt put out the fire is that the water is released as a gas.

Chemical because its made of chemicals like minerals and when the fire on the string hits the minerals then it forms a chemical reaction.
Is the glowing of a platinum wire in a flame a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change. A physical change involves changing a substance only in its appearance, smell, taste, feel, or sound. A chemical change involves changing what makes up the substance or the way the substance reacts with other substances. When a normal platinum wire is placed over a flame, it glows. This is a physical change because the things that make up the platinum have not been changed, but the appearance has changed.

Only the melting is physical (can easily be reversed by cooling down) but the actual burning (flame) is a complicated chemical set of reactions.
