It disintegrates to ashes.
burning or tree or wood is an irreversible chemical change.
I know for sure that it is not, however I'm not quite sure why. Hopefully someone else can explain this.
Converting wood to sawdust involves physically breaking down the structure of the wood into smaller particles. This change is irreversible because the original composition of the wood is permanently altered when it is reduced to sawdust, making it difficult to revert back to its original form without significant effort or energy input.
No, it's a chemical reaction with O2.In physical changes the chemical formula remains the same; like ice (H2O) and water (H2O). Burning wood is something like cellulose + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
No, converting wood into sawdust is an irreversible change because the physical structure of the wood is permanently altered during the process. Once wood is broken down into sawdust, it cannot be easily converted back into its original form.

burning of tree or wood is an irreversible chemical change
Burning wood in the fireplace is an example of a chemical change because the wood undergoes a chemical reaction to produce heat, light, and ash. This change is irreversible as the wood is transformed into new substances during the process.

Coffee dissolving, water boiling and chocolate melting are reversible physical transformations whereas wood burning is a chemical combustive transformation.
if you chop down a tree and cut it into a bunch of little peices... can you put that tree back together so that it can continue on living its boring tree life? the answer is no it is irreversible

Decaying of wood is a chemical change since it leads to the formation of a different substance. The process is irreversible.
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. The term irreversible change is rather meaningless. Some changes are easier to reverse than others, that's all. Melting and freezing water is fairly easy. Melting and freezing iron is more difficult, but not impossible. Some people will tell you chemical changes are irreversible, but that's not true either. Some are easy to reverse, others like burning wood may seem impossible. I can't take carbon dioxide and water and turn them into wood, but plants do it all the time.

When a burning piece of wood undergoes chemical change, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce new substances such as ash, smoke, and gases. The change is irreversible, and the properties of the wood are altered as it transforms into new compounds. Additionally, heat and light are often produced as a result of the chemical reaction, further indicating a chemical change.
