Air can cause copper to undergo oxidation, resulting in the formation of a layer of copper oxide on the surface of the metal. Over time, this oxide layer can continue to react with oxygen and moisture in the air, leading to the gradual corrosion and tarnishing of the copper surface.
For copper or some copper alloys coins the coating is hydrated copper carbonate.
When magnesium reacts with copper chloride, an exchange reaction occurs in which magnesium replaces copper, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride and copper. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Mg + CuCl2 → MgCl2 + Cu.
Copper will oxidize and create that green coating.
Any piece of copper heated will do the same thing. When heated, the colored coating on the copper is called "scale," and consists of a thin layer of copper oxide on the surface of the copper. Depending on the thickness of the layer and its temperature, the scale can be some very interesting colors, such as red, blue, brown, and pink.
Copper oxide
copper oxide. when it reacts with the oxygen in the air it produces copper oxide
Copper... the surface of the copper that's exposed to the air reacts with oxygen to create copper oxide.

Contacting the iron powder with an aqueous solution of copper (II) salts will produce a copper coating on iron powder: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than copper and therefore will displace copper from the solution, resulting in copper-coated iron and dissolved iron cations. When all of the surface of the iron powder has been coated with copper, the iron will stop reacting because it no longer has access to the copper ions in solution, the access of the iron being blocked by the layer of copper coating the remaining iron powder.
The statue of liberty is not painted green, the copper other metals have gotten oxidized, which turns the metals green.
Copper sulfides describe a family of chemical compounds and minerals with the formula CuxSy. Prominent copper sulfide minerals include Cu2S (chalcocite) and CuS (covellite).
To dissolve the hydrated cooper carbonate or to remove this coating by erosion.

Copper cloride is the word equation for copper and clorine hope this helps:)
A small amount of surface active agent such as thiourea is added to the electrolyte to prevent dendrite formation in the copper electrodeposit. Formation of dendrites may lead to short-circuiting when the electrode gap is minimized to reduce the solution IR drop.
