Tarnish is oxidation caused by exposure to air.
gold doesn't tarnish.
Silverware tarnishes when it comes into contact with substances such as sulfur, oxygen, and moisture. These substances can react with the silver in the silverware, causing it to form a tarnished layer. Exposure to air, certain foods, and cleaning chemicals can also contribute to the tarnishing of silverware.
Tarnish occurs when silver reacts with oxygen or hydrogen sulfide in the air, moisture, skin oil from being handled, and other contaminants.
Sulfur causes silver to tarnish.
silver ware tarts when yhu leave it in the sun.or yhu make it cold,or puts it in mud or dirt..and that causes it to tarnish.answ2. Rust is a word reserved for the oxidizing iron.Silver will 'tarnish' by absorbing on its surface chlorides and sulphides from the air. [Sterling silver which contains a few % of copper to harden it, will tarnish more readily than pure silver. If you like the tarnish on silver, then call it 'patina'.
gold doesn't tarnish.
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

rust or tarnish
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.
potassium + oxygen --> potassium oxide
Sulfur causes silver to tarnish.
it oxidizes..exposure to the oxygen in the air causes it to tarnish...
