When copper gets burned, its own identity vanishes and it changes into a black coloured powdery substance. This substance is copper oxide. The reaction is as follows:-

2Cu(s) + O2(g) ------> 2CuO(s)

Yes, nearly all (if not all) metals burn. Obviously, one of those is copper. Some don't burn easily, but bend (including steel, iron, etc...).
