Answer:

When copper or silver combines with oxygen, the process is known as corrosion or oxidation. When copper reacts with oxygen, then it produces copper oxide. The chemical equation of this reaction is 4Cu + O2 = 2Cu2O, and forms Copper Oxide. Silver objects corrode slowly in the air due to the presence of H2S in the air.
