it's due to the formation of copper carbonate
Answer: Copper metal when exposedto air turns green in colour due to corrosion. When copper vessel is exposed to air in rainy season, the metal reacts with gases and moistureand atmospheric gases to form a mixture of copper carbonate andcopper hydroxide. This gives a greencolour to the surface of copper metal
