Sugar is a chemical compound or rather a group of compounds containing carbon oxygen and hydrogen, not a chemical change.

Is making Sugar into sugar syrup a physical change or chemical change?

Unless you overdo it and carmelize it, it is a physical change. A typical process is to dissolve a large amount of sugar into hot water (physical change - the sugar is still sugar and the water is still water; they do not react. If the sugar-water is not syrupy enough, you can boil off some of the water (still a physical change). If you overdo it though, you will begin to caramelize the sugar. If the sugar is sucrose, it breaks down into fructose and sucrose along with a host of other side reactions that condense, isomerize, dehydrate, fragment, polymerize, and otherwise chemically change the original sugar. Caramelization is definitely a chemical change, but it is not necessary to make syrup.
