Tarnishing is a chemical change. It results from the oxidization of silver exposed to oxygen in the air that produces a thin layer of silver oxide on the surface of the silver.

Yes, silver tarnishing is a chemical change. It occurs when the silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form silver sulfide, which gives silver a black or brownish tint. This chemical reaction cannot be easily reversed, unlike a physical change.
