Its Neither a metal or a non metal. Its a compound formed from copper, nitrogen and oxygen. Its also called an ore from which copper can be extracted in its original metal form up to 99% purity. This substance is actually a salt that can be formed in many ways. One of these ways is mixing Copper and Nitric Acid, another is Copper Carbonate and Nitric Acid. This salt is also a compound (a substance made of more than one types of atom, which are chemically joined together).

What substance is formed on a copper metal surface while in a silver nitrate solution?
Copper Nitrate
Is copper a metal non-metal or metalloid?
copper is a metal
Is nitrate a metal or non metal?
Nitrate, NO3- ion, is not an element, so it is useless to classify as (non-)metal. When combined with metal ions it becomes a (soluble) salt.
What type of solution is copper nitrate?
first of all which are we talking? Copper (I) Nitrate or Copper (II) Nitrate 2nd, It is an Ionic Solution that will react with any metal except mercury, silver, platinum, and gold.
Why would sliver nitrate precipitate when in contact with copper?
Silver nitrate does not precipitate in this case; elemental silver does. In this reaction, silver nitrate reacts with copper to form elemental silver and copper II nitrate. The silver, which is a metal, is insoluble in water.
How do you balance the equation silver nitrate plus copper metal equals silver metal plus copper nitrate?
If the copper nitrate formed is copper (I) nitrate, the equation balances with one atom of each metal and one formula weight of each nitrate. If the copper nitrate formed is copper (II) nitrate, the balanced equation is: 2 AgNO3 + Cu -> 2 Ag + Cu(NO3)2.
What substance is formed on a copper metal surface while in a silver nitrate solution?
Copper Nitrate
What is the result of copper nitrate on copper metal when it is left open for sometime?
No
Is copper a non metal?
copper is a non metal ediot
Is copper a metal non-metal or metalloid?
copper is a metal
What are the colors of silver metal and copper nitrate in water?
The colour of silver metal in water is whiteThe colour of copper nitrate in water is blue (due to the Cu++ ion).
Is copper an non metal?
No, copper is a metal.
Is copper metallic or non metallic?
It is a mixture - partially metallic and partially non-metallic
Is nitrate a metal or non metal?
Nitrate, NO3- ion, is not an element, so it is useless to classify as (non-)metal. When combined with metal ions it becomes a (soluble) salt.
what will happen if copper metal is added to copper nitrate?
Copper metal "dissolves" in nitric acid (HNO3). Actually, the nitrate ion oxidizes the copper metal to copper (II) ion while itself being transformed to NO2 gas in the process; the copper (II) ion then binds to six water molecules.
