Sodium+Oxeygen->Sodium Oxide 4Na+O2->2Na2O
gold doesn't tarnish.
Tarnish is oxidation caused by exposure to air.
Let's look at the equation for the reaction of potassium and water: Potassium + water --> potassium hydroxide + hydrogen The reaction is fast and generates sufficient heat (it is exothermic) for the hydrogen gas produced to react with oxygen in the air. The presence of potassium gives the flame a lilac colour as the hydrogen burns. In comparison, lithium and sodium are less reactive so the reactions are slower and produce less heat so the hydrogen gas produced does not ignite. So, the potassium does not burn, the hydrogen does!
First, the balanced equation of the reaction must be considered: Mg + HCl = MgCl2 + H2 Mg + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2. Notable results in the reaction are the liberation of the H2 which causes bubbles, and the formation of the MgCl2 which causes a foul odor.
potassium + oxygen --> potassium oxide
Sodium+Oxeygen->Sodium Oxide 4Na+O2->2Na2O
Lithium reacts with oxygen by causing it to tarnish. This reaction is magnified if heat is applied which causes tarnish to form very quickly when compared to exposing to oxygen alone.

it oxidizes..exposure to the oxygen in the air causes it to tarnish...

The reaction of potassium with water is highly exothermic. That is, it gives off a lot of heat. Hydrogen, which is formed by the chemical reaction is ignited by this heat and so explodes.
Well, the gold it is tarnish natural; but is it's more tarnish if it's mix with silver or brance or lead or cooper.
The air causes it to tarnish, it is called patina

Because it contains Sulfur and sulfur reacts with the silver forming hydrogen sulfide, which causes the tarnish
