Is burning a match a phase change?

Burning a match is not a phase change. A phase change refers to a physical change in the state of matter, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation. When a match burns, it undergoes a chemical change as the reactants (matchstick and oxygen) are transformed into new substances (carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash) through a combustion reaction. This chemical change involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, rather than a change in the state of matter.
