a compound in an ore
With a melting point of 1083° C, copper exists as a solid in nature.
Copper is a chemical element that exists in nature in its elemental form, meaning as individual copper atoms. However, when combining with other elements, it can form compounds such as copper oxide (CuO) or copper sulfate (CuSO4), which are made up of multiple copper atoms bonded to other elements.
It would be CuF3 but this compound does not exist. Copper(II) fluoride, CuF2 exists, and K3CuF6 exists and contains copper III.
copper (III) chloride Added: It is very unlikely that CuCl3 exists: The only two possible oxidation states of copper are I (cuprous, Cu+) and II (cupric, Cu2+) and if it doesn't exist then it has also NO name! Correction on the above. It does exists it is just very unstable and will switch back to Cu(II)Cl2 it is used to create the Cu(I)Cl because it is very unstable in the Cu(I)Cl and will easily form into the copper 2
No, copper is not acidic. It is a metal that is typically considered to be neutral or slightly basic in nature.
because copper sulphite contains the atoms of copper.
With a melting point of 1083° C, copper exists as a solid in nature.
Platinum usually exists uncombined in nature or alloyed with iridium.

No, copper is typically not found in its pure form in nature. It is usually found in combination with other elements in ores, which must be processed to extract the pure copper metal.
Examples of elements that exist as free metal in nature include gold, silver, and copper. These elements are often found in their metallic form in the Earth's crust and are relatively unreactive.

Copper is a brown solid. Take a look at an American or Canadian penny. In nature, copper is usually found as an oxide that is bluish green. The Statue of Liberty is copper and has oxidized to this bluish green color.
i think they mine itCopper is usually found in nature in association with sulfur. Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process, beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals, and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode. An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching of oxidized ores. Nearly as much copper is recovered from recycled material as is derived from newly mined ore.
it is fount in nature.
...as a solid.
The ores of Copper are usually copper carbonates such as Malachite.
