The tarnishing of silver is due to a reaction with hydrogen sulfide. Because the end result of the tarnish is silver sulfide, it is a chemical change.

Tarnish of silver is a chemical change. It occurs when the silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form silver sulfide, creating a darkened appearance on the surface of the silver.
