Solution
Copper carbonate [CuCO3] green colour on heating gives copper oxide [Black colour CuO] and CO2.
Hence composition is changed new substances CuO [Black] and CO2 with new properties are produced and it is irreversible reaction hence it is a chemical change.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Green}}{CuCO3} ->[\Delta] \underset{\text{Black}}{CuO} + CO2}\]
