Answer:

vessel is exposed to moist air for a long time it develops a green layer on its surface. Copper corrodes by oxidation in which it reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. Copper oxide then combines with carbon dioxide to make copper carbonate, which gives it a green colour.

Explanation:

Copper vessels turn green when exposed to air for a long period of time due to corrosion. The copper reacts with the moisture and the various gases present in the atmosphere to form a mixture of copper carbonate (CuCO3) and copper hydroxide (Cu(OH
