An example of an endothermic process is evaporating. Evaporation requires an input of energy to convert liquid water into water vapor, so it is an endothermic process.

Burning chemically alters a substance, creating different / new substances as a result. Melting, freezing, and evaporating are all different phases of the same substance.
The reaction that occurs in a chemical cold pack used to ice athletic injuries is endothermic, as it absorbs heat from its surroundings to lower the temperature. Dry ice evaporating and a sparkler burning are both exothermic processes where heat is released.
No, burning sugar is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between sugar and oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water, along with energy that is released in the form of heat and light.
No, smoke is not an example of condensation. Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particles produced from combustion or burning materials. Condensation is the process of a gas changing into a liquid state.
An example of oxidation would be paper burning because it involves a chemical reaction where paper combines with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. Water evaporating and sugar melting are physical changes, not chemical reactions involving oxidation.
