What is the chemical name of the product when copper reacts with gas in the air?

Answer 1

Copper reacts with the oxygen in the air in a process called oxidation. This occurs in several steps as seen in Kuba Jasinski’s answer. The reactions occur as the copper atoms give up some electrons (oxidation) to the oxygens (reduction) to create ionic compounds. This is a classic example of what is called a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.

Answer 2

Copper oxide is a compound that forms when copper reacts with the oxygen

the atmosphere.
