Answer:

Hello friend! Here is your answer....

Explanation:

The metals lose their shine on brightness on keeping in air for a long time due to formation of a thin layer of oxide, carbonate or sulphide on their surface by the slow action of various gases present in air.

I hope it helped you

It's probably because Metal A is more reactive than Metal B. So metal A reacted with the moisture in the air to form a layer of its oxide faster than B and lost its luster.
