Both metal and copper oxidize when exposed to oxygen and this is a natural process. Copper that is exposed to the outside environment is more likely to turn green and that is why copper vases and decorative pieces in gardens are often green.
In fact, it produces the same amount of heat as the fire, but spread out over a longer time, so that the iron oxide or rust also cools off at the same time that it is heating up. When iron is exposed to oxygen in the air, the two combine very slowly to make iron oxide, or rust.But if the iron and oxygen molecules are also touching water molecules, the water molecules speed up this reaction and make the iron rust a lot faster.Black-figure vase by Exekias (Athens, ca. 540 BC).n fact, it produces the same amount of heat as the fire, but spread out over a longer time, so that the iron oxide or rust also cools off at the same time that it is heating up.
