Silver reacts with oxygen, hydrogen sulphide and moisture in the air and a black coated layer is formed over it and then it becomes silver sulphide.

Copper reacts with oxygen, carbonates and moisture in the air and a green coated layer is formed over it and then it becomes copper carbonate.

hope this helps you...

when silver reacts with Hydrogen Sulphide present in the air it forms a layer of Silver Sulphide which is black in colour.
When Copper Metal is exposed to moist air it forms a layer of basic Copper Carbonate which is green in colour. 
the phenomenon responsible is corrosion.
