There is a lot of copper in bronze. When copper oxides (rusts) it turns green. It is a form of copper oxide.
reactants: iron and oxygen products: rust (aka: iron (II) oxide or FeO)
Just one.
Reactants are the starting materials of a reaction. Reactants combine to form the products.

Yes, they combine to form Copper Sulfide.
Atoms that chemically combine form a molecule.

the exterior is made of copper. This copper is has naturally oxidized to form the patina green coating. This patina material is about as thinck as the copper behind it and is currently protecting the copper from natural wearing itself.

Reactants: -iron -oxygen Products: -rust
Yes, copper does form compounds with nonmetals.
There is copper (I) sulfide, with the formula Cu2S, and there is copper (II) sulfide with the formula CuS.

Most likely some other object has dripped rust onto the copper, which can be removed. Copper does not rust, but it does form a green patina over time.
