Why is a piece of apple rotting a chemical change?

Because the glucose (and other useful substances) are no longer there after the rotting (the substance itself changes, rather than simply changing some state of the same substance)

Because you can't change it back to the way it was before it rotted.

Rotting apples undergo a chemical change due to the breakdown of organic compounds by microorganisms, resulting in new substances. This process involves microbial action and enzyme production, leading to irreversible changes in texture, smell, and composition. Thus, rotting is characterized as a chemical change because original substances cannot be regained.
