What year was copper discovered?
Copper has been used since ancient times and was one of the first metals to be discovered and utilized by humans. Its discovery predates recorded history, but archaeological evidence suggests that copper was in use as far back as the 5th millennium BC.
What are some common compounds in which copper is found?
Some common compounds in which copper is found include copper sulfate, copper oxide, copper carbonate, and copper hydroxide. Copper is also commonly found as a component in minerals like chalcopyrite and malachite.
Can copper be found uncombined with other elements?
Yes, copper can be found uncombined in its pure form in nature. This is known as native copper and is commonly found in regions where copper deposits have formed, such as in certain sedimentary rocks.
What is the name of the copper compound found in malachite?
According to my chemistry book it's copper carbonate.
What form is copper most commonly found in?
It is most often found in the carbonate mineral malachite.
Where can Copper be found in Canada?
Copper can be found in BC and Alberta
When did the copper age start?
When copper was first found. It varies between civilizations. In Europe it began about 5300 BC South Asia it started 7700 BC Africa 3000 BC Mesoamerica 4000 BC South Africa 4000's BC Northern Iran 4300 Hope this is good.
What period is copper found in?
Copper smelting appears to have been developed independently in several parts of the world. In addition to its development in the Balkans by 5500 BC, it was developed in China before 2800 BC, in the Andes around 2000 BC, in Central America around 600 AD, and in West Africa around 900 AD.
Who formed copper?
Copper was never formed, per se, but since it occurred naturally it was discovered to some of the oldest civilizations on record, and has a history of use that is at least 10,000 years old. Some estimates of copper's discovery place this event around 9000 BC in the Middle East. By 5000 BC, there are signs of copper smelting: the refining of copper from simple copper compounds such as malachite or azurite. Among archaeological sites in Anatolia, Çatal Höyük (~6000 BC) features native copper artifacts and smelted lead beads, but no smelted copper. Can Hasan (~5000 BC) had access to smelted copper but the oldest smelted copper artifact found (a copper chisel from the chalcolithic site of Prokuplje in Serbia) has pre-dated Can Hasan by 500 years. The smelting facilities in the Balkans appear to be more advanced than the Turkish forges found at a later date, so it is quite probable that copper smelting originated in the Balkans. Investment casting was realized in 4500-4000 BCE in Southeast Asia. Copper smelting appears to have been developed independently in several parts of the world. In addition to its development in the Balkans by 5500 BC, it was developed in China before 2800 BC, in the Andes around 2000 BC, in Central America around 600 AD, and in West Africa around 900 AD. Copper is found extensively in the Indus Valley Civilization by the 3rd millennium BC. In Europe, Ötzi the Iceman, a well-preserved male dated to 3300-3200 BC, was found with an axe with a copper head 99.7% pure. High levels of arsenic in his hair suggest he was involved in copper smelting. Over the course of centuries, experience with copper has assisted the development of other metals; for example, knowledge of copper smelting led to the discovery of iron smelting. In the Americas production in the Old Copper Complex, located in present day Michigan and Wisconsin, was dated back to between 6000 to 3000 BC.

How copper found?
Copper has been used since about 8000 bc when it replaced stone as a material for tools. It is produced by reduction of copper ore from carbon which includes coal or charcoal. A caveman probrably discovered small amounts in te camp fire after lining it with rocks which just happened to be copper ore.
