Most silver objects of everyday use are in fact Sterling Silver, which contains usually 7.5% of copper to improve its hardness and utility. The corrosion is often that of the copper component, and is made of various oxides, carbonates, sulphides and so on.

Pure silver in fact tarnishes less, though it does still attain a patina of oxide.
