Neither. Tarnishing is a chemical change. The ability to tarnish is a chemical property.
Chemical.
Removing tarnish from a penny with salt and vinegar is a chemical change. The reaction between the salt, vinegar, and tarnish on the penny results in the formation of new substances that remove the tarnish.
Examples: Iron Rusting: CHEMICAL CHANGE The ABILITY for Iron to rust: Chemical PROPERTY Ice freezing: Physical CHANGE Water's ABILITY to evaporate: Physical PROPERTY
Tarnishing of jewelry is primarily a chemical change. It occurs when the metal reacts with substances in the environment, such as oxygen or sulfur compounds, leading to the formation of tarnish on the surface of the jewelry.
Chemical Change duuh. Go to science class dumby.
It's a chemical change because a new substance comes out of tarnishing.
Chemical Change.--its tarnish!
Chemical Change.--its tarnish!
Chemical Change.--its tarnish!
Physical change
It is a chemical change. Oxygen from the air combined chemically with the silver to form silver oxide- that is the tarnish.

chemical, because when a penny is tarnished its a chemical change because, its weathered down its destroyed. The tarnish itself is usually either the oxide and/or sulfide of the underlying metal.
1. Mechanically removing: physical process 2. Chemically removing: chemical process
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.
It's a chemical change. A thin layer of silver on the surface reacts with oxygen in the air - to form silver oxide.
