Why does copper and silver bangles turn green and black respectivly after their worn for many days?

They Tarnish (this is like rusting in iron, but slower). The moisure in your sweat, the warmth in your skin and the oxygen in the air all start to react with the metals. With silver, this makes silver oxide and hydroxide. This is a very slow process and silver tarnishing is very slow. With copper, this moke black copper oxide and green copper hydroxide (comman name verdigris, means green/grey). This process is also slow, but faster than silver. You can see evidence of this on old bronze statues and copper domes, which go green with weather and time.
