they turn green due to oxidation. in iron it is red and called rust, in copper it is called patina
No, iron oxide will not turn copper green. The green patina on copper is typically the result of oxidation due to exposure to air and moisture, which forms copper carbonate or copper chloride compounds. Iron oxide itself does not have this effect on copper.
Copper is a red orange metal that develops a blue green oxide coat on extended exposure to air.
copper
Originally, the Statue of Liberty was green, due to the fact that it is made of copper. However, after years of exposure to outdoor conditions, sulfuric acid in the rain has reacted with the copper, corroding the copper to produce copper salts. Copper can corrode into different colours depending on the conditions it is exposed to; in normal outdoor exposure, as is the case with the Statue of Liberty, copper usually corrodes into a blue-green colour.
The copper metal oxidizes from exposure to air and moisture, forming a coating of copper carbonate.It an also help crops
Yes, copper typically forms a greenish patina when exposed to the environment for a period of time. This is due to the oxidation process, which creates copper carbonate on the surface of the metal, giving it a green color.
The time it takes for copper to develop a green patina can vary depending on environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and exposure to elements like air and moisture. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several years for the green patina to fully develop on copper surfaces.
The color that copper turns when it oxidizes is called verdigris. It is a greenish-blue patina that forms on the surface of copper over time due to exposure to air and moisture.
oxidation
Copper turns green due to a process called oxidation, forming copper oxide and copper carbonate on its surface. This greenish patina is known as verdigris and can take several years to develop, depending on the environment and exposure to elements like moisture and air.
It becomes a non-crystalline, powdery anhydrous salt.The hydrated (pentahydrate) form is chalcanthite, a bright blue crystal. The rare anhydrous ore form is called chalcocyanite, a gray or pale-green powdery rock.(If heated to 650 °C, copper sulfate becomes copper oxide and sulfur trioxide.)
Yes it is a chemical change Because colour is changing and a new substance is forming and it's irreversible.
