Wood ash (potash) is the main result of burning wood and potash can be used in the garden as a fertilizer. Also, if wood is slowly burnt (charred?) in a kiln, where oxygen is kept out, charcoal is produced.
physical--no, it's chemical because a new substance is formed by burning logs/paper, and the new substance, ashes has a different chemical composition.
This is a chemical property, as the burning of wood involves a chemical reaction that transforms the wood into ash, gases, and other byproducts, resulting in a new substance.
Ah, the black substance that comes from burning wood is called charcoal. It's nature's way of transforming wood into a new form that can be used for drawing, cooking, and even purifying water. Just like how mistakes can turn into beautiful creations in art, charcoal shows us that transformation can lead to something wonderful.
The match burning and leaving a charred stick of wood is a chemical change. This is because the chemical composition of the wood is altered during the burning process, causing a new substance (char) to be formed.

Neon is an element, classified as a noble gas, and it has nothing to do with burning wood. Neon does not burn, nor is it produced by burning.

Any chemical reaction produce a new substance.

Burning is a term which generally describes the chemical reaction combustion. Combustion always involves the reaction of a substance with an oxidizing agent to yield products which are either components of the original substance or different compounds which contain the same atoms. So, the process of combustion always yields a substance which is different from the original compound (i.e. forms a new substance) along with a lot of heat. This heat allows the substance to continue burning until no reactants remain or something inhibits the reaction - usually by removing access to one of the reactants or removing energy form the system. Most organic matter will burn to produce large quantities of carbon dioxide and water.

Burning wood is an irreversible change because it results in the formation of new substances like ash and smoke that cannot be easily reversed back into wood. The chemical structure of the wood is altered during the burning process, making it impossible to return it to its original form.
Which of the following forms a new substance?
Burning wood can be considered a form of renewable energy, as long as the wood comes from sustainably managed forests, where trees are replanted at a rate that matches or exceeds the amount being cut down for burning. This ensures that the carbon emissions released during burning are balanced by the carbon sequestration of new tree growth.
A physical change alters the form of the substance but does not change it into anything new. An example of a physical change is the boiling, freezing, melting, condensation of water. The result changes still give you water. A chemical change must make a new substance with new properties. An example of a chemical change is the burning of wood. The new substances made during complete combustion are ash, carbon dioxide, and water.
