Yes, copper is still an element even if it reacts with oxygen to form copper oxide. The chemical properties of copper remain the same, but it forms a compound with oxygen in this reaction.
Yes, copper is still an element when it reacts with oxygen. The reaction forms copper oxide, but the copper atoms remain unchanged.
Copper is an element because it is the simplest form of the substance that still makes it copper. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical means. Copper has atomic number 29.
The smallest particle of matter that keeps all the same properties of oxygen is an oxygen atom. If you mean oxygen gas, O2, then it would be a molecule of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded.
Exposure to oxygen in the air and to dirt and oils from contact with skin. US cents have been made of copper-plated zinc since 1982, and before that most of them were bronze containing 95% copper. In either case the copper combines with O2 to cause discoloration. If undisturbed the coins can develop a greenish patina like the Statue of Liberty, which is made of copper. In general pennies are used enough that the patina can't develop but they still darken in color.
No, it is the most common dissolved ion in the ocean. The most common element by mass is oxygen as the ocean is still mostly water.
Yes, copper is still an element when it reacts with oxygen. The reaction forms copper oxide, but the copper atoms remain unchanged.
Copper is an element. You can have a single atom or many atoms and it's still copper.
Yes, of course.
An atom. In a sample of copper, for instance, the smallest unit of copper that is still considered copper is a single atom of copper.

Even though it reacts with water, And reacts with your brain. Chemistry still sucks, And Lithium is to blame!
The smallest unit of an element that still maintains its chemical properties is an atom. Each element is uniquely defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which stays constant in all atoms of that element.
YES. The available amount of oxygen in air regulates the candles burn. The oxygen burns with the paraffin wax. Both are consumed. A mix of more oxygen will burn faster and hotter. Rapid oxydation is dangerous.
Melted copper is not a mineral because minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and atomic structure. Melted copper is a liquid form of the element copper, which is a mineral when in its solid state.
Yes, especially in people who are still breathing, in which the element oxygen can be found in the lungs. Most of the oxygen in a living person or a corpse, however, occurs in compounds such as sugars and fats.
The interplanetary, interstellar, and even intergalactic word for oxygen would still be "oxygen".
