    The burning of wood is a chemical change.

    Explanation:

    A chemical change (chemical reaction) is a change of materials into other, new materials with different properties, and one or more new substances are formed. Burning of wood is a chemical change as new substances which cannot be changed back (e. g. carbon dioxide) are formed. For example, if wood is burned in a fireplace, there is not wood anymore but ash.

    While, Physical change is opposite of a chemical change is a physical change. Physical changes are a change in which no new substances are formed, and the substance which is changed is the same. For instance, if a stick of wood is broken, there is still a stick of wood; it is just broken.

    Conclusion:

    Burning Wood is an example of a chemical change that is not reversible.
