In my living environment, a chemical change occurs when food is digested in the stomach, where complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones. In my non-living environment, a chemical change occurs when iron rusts due to exposure to oxygen and moisture, forming iron oxide.
The rotting of wood is a chemical change because of many reasons. One of the reasons is because when wood rots, it produces mold, which is a new substance. The definition of chemical change is a change that produces one or more new substances. When the wood rots, you are unable to take the rotted wood and mold and make it back into wood that is yet to be rotted. So because the wood produces one (or more) new substances, the rotting of wood is a chemical change.
Burning wood is a chemical change - although, like most chemical changes it is accompanied by a physical change. Usually we reserve the term physical changes for things like erosion, melting, or evaporation where no change in composition occurs.
Rottening of wood is a chemical (breakdown) reaction
no, breaking wood is a physical change.If the wood was burned, that would be chemical change
When you burn wood a chemical change occurs.
When you burn wood a chemical change occurs.
Wood rotting is a chemical process that occurs as a result of fungi breaking down the components of wood through enzymatic reactions. This process leads to the decomposition of wood fibers and the release of chemical byproducts.

One common chemical change that wood undergoes is combustion when it is exposed to heat and oxygen, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Another chemical change that wood can undergo is fermentation, which occurs when wood is broken down by microorganisms to produce products such as ethanol or acetic acid. Additionally, wood can undergo chemical changes such as oxidation and hydrolysis when it is exposed to certain environmental conditions.
A physical change because the chemical composition of the wood does not change.

Wood is a material. It is not a change.
it is a chemical reaction because a new substance is formed when the wood rots
