Does copper react or combine with other elements and what elements?

Copper bonds with some other elements. We know it bonds with oxygen, and that's what makes copper darken in air as copper oxide forms. Sulfur is also an element that copper will bond with, and we see verdigris form on things made of copper when exposed to things with sulfur in them.

∙ 11y agoCopper reacts (or combines) with many other elements, especially with the more electronegative ones such as oxygen and fluorine, to form ionic compounds. The 1985 edition of The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics lists 121 distinct compounds of copper in its "Inorganic Compounds" table, although some of them differ from others only in degree of hydration. Copper also combines with many other metals to form alloys, which are mixtures rather than compounds.

Will the element americium combine with other elements?
Americium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other chemical elements.
Will californium combine with other elements?
Californium can react with the majority of non metals.
What elements does americium combine with?
Americium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other nonmetals; also react with inorganic acids or water vapors.
Which elements can Thorium combine with?
Thorium can react with the majority of non metals; with metals thorium form alloys.
How does atoms combine to form molecules?
They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.

No. Kryptonite is a nobel gas, and doesn't react with any other elements.
What are some of the reactions cooper has with other elements?
Copper can react with other elements, such as oxygen, sulfur, and chloride to form an ore, copper oxide (CuO); tarnish, copper sulfide (CuS); and the salt, copper chloride (CuCl2) used in many chemistry labs.
Does oxygen combine with anything?
Oxygen is very reactive and can react with the majority of other elements; also oxygen react with all organic compounds etc.
What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
Would copper and calcium react when put together?
No, they will not react when put together. This is because both calcium and copper are electropositive metals. No two electropositive elements or electronegative elements react under normal conditions.
What is ionic equation of iron and copper reaction?
Iron and copper are both metallic elements, so they can NOT react with each other.
