it tarnishes and can make a dull layer of metal oxide on the surface
"tarnish" or oxidation.
When silver reacts with a base, such as sodium hydroxide, it forms silver oxide and hydrogen gas. The silver oxide is then converted back to silver metal when heated.
Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form a black tarnish layer called silver sulfide. This tarnish layer can be easily wiped off with a polishing cloth or a chemical cleaner to restore the silver's shine.
When silver reacts with oxygen, it forms silver oxide. This can create a tarnish layer on the surface of the silver, giving it a dull appearance. Silver oxide can be removed by polishing the silver surface.
When carbon is exposed to air nothing happens.
It happens with exposure to air and certain chemicals. The silver atoms combine with oxygen to form a layer of silver oxide, which is what causes the discoloration.See the Related Links for "How to clean and polish silver" to the bottom for the answer.

Silver tarnishes in air because it reacts with the oxygen to form silver oxide.

they are not reacting. So nothing happeningwith it.
Gold does not react with air or water, so it does not tarnish or corrode easily. Copper reacts slowly with air and water to form a patina. Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish. Iron reacts quickly with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust).
When carbon is exposed to air nothing happens.
When iron reacts with air, they form ferric oxide.
It happens with exposure to air and certain chemicals. The silver atoms combine with oxygen to form a layer of silver oxide, which is what causes the discoloration.See the Related Links for "How to clean and polish silver" to the bottom for the answer.
Silver oxide is photosensitive and silver can be separated.
chemical, specifically an "oxidation" reaction (even though oxygen is not involved).
Tarnish.
