It is the oxidation of the elements of the chemicals that make up the wood - which are various organic compounds. These are released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, water vapour and oxides of other elements and compounds.

Is burning wood a chemical or physical change'?

It is a chemical change as you are altering the chemical structure of the wood.Burning wood is a chemical change. Although some might be confused on whether or not it is a chemical change it definitely is chemical change because when you burn wood, or mostly anything actually, a carbon dioxide gas is released into the air. As most might know a chemical change is when some type of substance reacts with another when in contact and it produces a new substance. In this case burning wood was created off of the burning chemicals in the wood, thus the carbon dioxide gas was released and exposed into the air.its chemical change definitely chemical changedefinite.It can be both actually because if you start a fire your self and do it or if it is a wild fire. :)its really physical.Chemical--new compounds are created. Example: glucose becoming water and carbon dioxide.Chemical change. Components in the wood combine with oxygen, releasing heat.chemical change;because once you have burnt it you cant make it a piece of wood again.Burning wood is a chemical change.its a chemical change, because you can not reverse itChemicalThe burning of wood is the oxidation of wood by combustion.Oxidation is a chemical reaction where (usually) oxygen reacts with a chemical to form other chemicals and gives off heat (an exothermic reaction).So the burning of wood is a chemical change. The resultant chemicals, (ash/soot/water/CO2...depending on the completeness of the reaction) are physically different to the wood, but the change is much more than physical.No, it is a chemical changeBurning wood is a chemical change.Burning wood is a chemical change because the reaction is not reversable and the end product is two separate chemicals.Burning wood is a chemical change because you are altering the CHEMICAL structure of the wood.it is chemical changeCombustion is a chemical process involving the oxidation.
