    Solution

    Copper metal when exposed to air turns green in colour due to corrosion. When a copper vessel is exposed to air in the rainy season, the metal reacts with gases, moisture and atmospheric gases to form a mixture of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. This gives a green colour to the surface of copper metal.
