CuCO3
Copper Carbonate
The compound you are referring to is copper carbonate, which has the chemical formula CuCO3. It is also known as copper(II) carbonate and is commonly found in nature as the mineral malachite.
Copper carbonate is a solid compound at room temperature.
According to my chemistry book it's copper carbonate.
Yes, CuCO3 is a compound
It is a compound that is made up of carbon, copper and oxygen. The "ate" in carbonate stands for oxygen.
When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes into copper oxide, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The remaining ionic compound is copper oxide (CuO).
Copper and carbonate ions form copper carbonate. In practice, copper carbonate usually contains hydroxide ions as well.
CuS is known as copper(II) sulphide or Cupric sulphide.
Copper carbonate is CuCO3 (copper(II) carbonate)
A copper compound is a substance composed of copper atoms bonded to other elements such as oxygen, sulfur, chloride, or carbonate. Common examples include copper oxide (CuO), copper sulfate (CuSO4), copper chloride (CuCl2), and copper carbonate (CuCO3).
When copper(II) carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide. The ionic compound that remains is copper(II) oxide, which has the chemical formula CuO.
