What is copper alloy?
Copper (symbol Cu) is not an alloy it is an element containing only atoms of copper.
Is copper made up more than one element?
No. Copper is a single element.
Does an element become a compound when the type of atoms is changed?
Yes, the element changes to compound when atoms of it changes because compound is made up of different types of element and the element is made up of different types of atoms when the atoms are changed the element also changes and different types of elements are made due to this the element is changed to a compound.
A shiny brown coin made up of an element turned black on heating. What was the element made up of and what is the black compound formed?
the element was copper and the new black compound formed was copper oxide.
How many types of atom make up copper?
There is only one kind of atom in a lump of any element. That's because elements are, elementary and only contain one atom - in this case, the Copper atoms. However lumps of most things contain more than one atom, because they will contain more than one element inside them. For example: a lump of steel may contain Iron and Carbon atoms.
What is made out of copper?
Copper is an element made up of copper atoms. so there is no such thing as what it is made up of it is just atoms
Is copper made of iron?

What is copper alloy?
Copper (symbol Cu) is not an alloy it is an element containing only atoms of copper.
What kind of metal is copper?

Is copper made up of more than one element?
Yes, the metallic copper is an element, this means 'of one kind of atoms', it is Cu with atom number 29 in the periodic table. A 'copper' (money piece) is not made of pure copper, it is an alloy, the same like a 'nickel'.

What is the relationship between atoms and an elements?
An element is made by atoms. smallest part of element is atom.
Is copper only made up of certain types of atoms?
Correct. Copper is made only of atoms that contain 29 protons in the nucleus.
