Is world-widely used in the wires for energy transportation by the electrical companies of every country, for the telecommunications wires too.
Many alloys are consisting of copper, such as bronze.
A major factor for copper's importance is its availability as a natural resource and therefore its seniority as a metal in use. Other factors are its malleability and its low melting point.

∙ 16y agoIt is not really a case of oxide being important to copper, so much as oxygen reacts with copper, forming copper oxide. Oxygen reacts with many elements. One we all know is 'Rust' the red colouring that is formed on iron or steel, this is iron oxide. Copper oxide has a pleasant light green or torquoise colour. Oxides in a living bodies blood stream are more harmful and are called toxins. Copper oxide is extensively used in pottery for formulating glazes.

What is copper and oxygen called when its combined?
copper oxide
What compounds does the selenium atom have the most positive partial charge?
In CuO the oxidation state of Cu is +2 and is called cupric oxide, or copper-II oxide (do NOT pronounce as dioxide).In Cu2O the oxidation state of Cu is +1 and is called cuprous oxide, or copper I oxide or di-copper oxide.
Can you get the copper oxide from burning copper with oxygen?
Yes, copper oxide can be obtained by burning copper with oxygen. When copper is heated in the presence of oxygen, it undergoes a chemical reaction to form copper oxide. The resulting copper oxide can be collected and used for various purposes.
What type of bond has copper I oxide?
Copper(I) oxide has an ionic bond.
What is the name of Copper Periodic plus Oxygen?
Copper oxides are Cu2O - copper(I) oxide and CuO - copper(II) oxide.
What is copper and oxygen called when its combined?
copper oxide
What compounds does the selenium atom have the most positive partial charge?
In CuO the oxidation state of Cu is +2 and is called cupric oxide, or copper-II oxide (do NOT pronounce as dioxide).In Cu2O the oxidation state of Cu is +1 and is called cuprous oxide, or copper I oxide or di-copper oxide.
What is the name for the compound Cu2O?
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
When burnt copper reacts with oxygen what is the remaining substance called?
Copper Oxide.
What is the name of Cu2O?
CuO = Cupric Oxide Cupric = Cu2+ and is not Cu The correct answer would be CuO = Copper Monoxide Copper (II) oxide is the name of the compound CuO.
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
What colour is copper oxide and why?
Copper has two oxides. Copper (I) oxide is red, while Copper (II) oxide is black.
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of sulphuric acid and copper oxide?
This will depend upon which version of copper oxide you have - copper I oxide or copper II oxide. For copper I oxide: H2SO4 + Cu2O --> Cu2SO4 + H2O For copper II oxide: H2SO4 + CuO --> CuSO4 + H2O
Copper and oxygen react to form copper II oxide?
Rust? The two different types of bonds between the copper and oxygen in copper oxide are: Copper(II)Oxide CuO Copper(I)Oxide Cu2O
What is copper oxide made up of?
copper oxide---> copper + oxygen
Name of cu2o?
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
Is copper oxide an atom?
copper oxide is a molecule / compound.
