No, copper is not a chemical compound. Its a chemical element.

A chemical element is a substance made up of atoms of only one type. IE: Copper. Or hydrogen. Or Helium. Or Lithium... (there are ninety two naturally occurring elements, and several more man made ones)

Copper is found alone in nature

While copper can be found alone in nature it is usually mined as an ore that is a compound. Copper sulfide, copper oxide, and copper carbonate are probably the most common compounds in copper ores.

Copper is not a compound. It is an element.

It is an element because it is made up of atoms of the same kind.
