Question

Give reason for :

Silver metal does not combines easily with oxygen but silver jewellry tarnishes after some time. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey!

This is because when silver is exposed to air, it reacts with sulphur compounds in the air. It is this reaction with sulphur compounds in the air that cause the silver to tarnish and not the reaction with oxygen.

Answer 2

Heya!❤️

Silver is a highly unreactive metal. So,it does not react with the oxygen of the air easily. But silver jewellery tarnishes after some time due to the formation of a thin sulphide layer on their surface by the action of hydrogen sulphide gas present in air.

Hope this helps
