Copper was likely first discovered as 'native copper'. One might speculate that it may also have been found in the ashes of wood fires burning on ore-containing soil. We will never know because copper was discovered before people began recording history.
Copper was discovered first. It has been used by humans for thousands of years, while arsenic's discovery as a chemical element came later in the 13th century.
Mr Bob Copper discovered it in 1700. He named it after his son "Chloride" But then chloride died and he had a second son "Chloride II"
Copper has been used since ancient times and was one of the first metals to be discovered and utilized by humans. Its discovery predates recorded history, but archaeological evidence suggests that copper was in use as far back as the 5th millennium BC.
Copper was discovered first, since it occurs naturally in its pure form and has been used by humans since ancient times. Arsenic, on the other hand, was discovered later and is a metalloid that is typically found in combination with other elements in minerals.
The metal copper has been known since very ancient times. Chances are it was first produced by accident. Someone would have built a campfire and used rocks around the edge of the fire to contain it (as we still often do to this day) and if this person had happened to use a form of copper ore as the rocks for his campfire, they could have gotten hot enough that copper would have melted out of the rocks. And then, if this person was observant enough, he or she would have investigated further, to see if this strange substance had any particular uses (which of course it does) and whether more of it could be melted (or refined) out of more rocks (which of course it can).
copper turns to blue-green copper oxide.

Copper was one of the first metals to be discovered and used by humans. It is believed to have been discovered by ancient civilizations over 10,000 years ago. The exact date and person responsible for its discovery are unknown.
