Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:
Tarnish allows silver to lose its sheen. A is a physical change because it’s only bending it. Get scratched does not change its chemical properties.

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Silver consists of 92.5% silver, and the remaining part is copper. ... Pure silver is not susceptible to tarnish in a pure oxygen environment. However, the copper that is contained in 925 sterling silver may react to the ozone and hydrogen sulfide in the air and cause sterling silver to tarnish.
