Copper carbide is a salt. As the element implies, the ions present are copper ions and carbide ions. Carbide ions are made of carbon atoms.
Either is acceptable. Other names include Silicon carbide, SiC, Silicon(IV) carbide, Silicon carbide (SiC), Silicon carbide, Carbogran, Carbomant, Carborex, Carborundum, Carsilon, Exolon, Lonsicar, Meccarb, Resilon, Silicone carbide, Silundum, Simax
Union Carbide was created in 1917.
This is calcium carbide - CaC2.
The valency of Carbide is -4. Yet for some unknown/unexplained reasons Calcium Carbide is CaC2 and not Ca2C.
