The English name for copper is derived from the Latin word "cuprum," which was the ancient name for the island of Cyprus where copper was mined. This is different from many other elements that have names based on their properties, origins, or other characteristics.

What is the ionic compound name for CuHCO3?

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
