As we know that Silver is a less reactive metal so silver does not combine with oxygen.

➡ It loses its lusture and because of that it reacts with hydrogen sulphide.

Also ,

✨The silver jwellery which is used by the females is not so pure. It contains some amount of impurity which catalyses oxidation.
So it tarnishes easily.

AND ;

➡ Silver doesn't react easily with oxygen but it reacts with sulphur and forms a black coating.
