Silver is stable in pure air and water. But when it is exposed to air or water which contains ozone or hydrogen sulfide there is a change in its lustre. The common oxidation state of silver is +1 for example, silver nitrate or AgNO3. A few +2 examples like silver(II) fluoride or AgF2 and +3 compounds for example, potassium tetrafluoroargentate or K[AgF4].

Ozone gas has a pungent smell and causes luster on silver metal. Its chemical formula is O3. It tends to oxidize certain metals such as gold ,platinum and indium etc. The climatic change causes the change in the composition and intensity of the ozone gas changes. They react with the oxides of the silver metal and form corrosion due to the effects of wind and dampness in it.
