A chemical reaction suggests that something is altered(typically non-reversible)down to the chemical elements. A physical change is changing the appearance of an object(is usually reversible)
A match burning changes the match down to a irreversible level

∙ 14y agoThe act of burning a match, or anything, is an exothermic reaction. It will involve the combustion of a fuel. In this case the fuel is the wood of the match. The reaction takes oxygen from the atmosphere and it reacts with carbon-based molecules in the wood to give carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The match goes black as a result of incomplete combustion and non-combustible materials.

∙ 12y agoit is because a chemical change is when a new substance is formed and burning a match is transforming a match into ash.

∙ 14y agobecause it can't be changed back into it's normal form. the smell changes, which also tells you when a chemical change is taking place.

yes it is because its turning into a new substance

Is striking a match to a Bunsen burner a chemical reaCTION?
Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
Chemical reactions in your daily life?
the chemical reactions in our daily life are: 1)the burning of energy: that is:-> C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) 2)the another reaction is that the ADENOSINE TRI PHOSPHATES are converted to ADNOSINE DI PHOSPHATES

Is burning a match physical or chemical matter?
it is a chemical change.... so i would assume it is a chemical matter. it is a chemical change because of phosphrosus on the end of the match changes in to co2
