Explanation:

For "Newspaper yellows in the sun":

A chemical change involves a change in the chemical composition of a substance. When a newspaper yellows in the sun, the paper's components (like lignin or dyes) undergo a chemical reaction due to sunlight exposure, forming new substances that cause the yellowing. So this is a chemical change.

A physical change is a change in the physical state (like solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc.) of a substance without changing its chemical composition. Wax melting on a hot stove changes from solid to liquid wax, but the chemical nature of wax remains the same. So this is a physical change.
