Yes, if copper is exposed to wood, it decomposes rather quickly.

Can copper chloride be broken down into anything simpler?
Yes, copper chloride can be broken down into simpler compounds by various chemical reactions. For example, heating copper chloride can decompose it into copper and chlorine gas. Alternatively, electrolysis of a copper chloride solution can also break it down into its constituent elements.
Explain why are carbon and copper classified as elements?
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down any further by chemical reactions. While carbon and copper readily combine with other elements to form compounds, they cannot themselves be broken down any further by a chemical reaction. The definition of element (for chemistry) is thus: one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means What this means is if you take a substance, say .... sugar. You can put it through chemical processes that will reduce it down to its core components. For carbon from sugar, its simple: burn it. The hydrogen and oxygen will burn off as water vapor. Of course, even elements can be broken down, but not by chemical means. The use of a particle accelerator or nuclear fission is required, but I think we can all agree, that is by no means a "chemical" process. That's nuclear :)
Can a piece of copper be broken down into some simpler type of matter?
Not chemically. The molecules of an element contain only one form of atom, although these can have different numbers of neutrons.The copper can be fissioned into other elements or considered as its separate subatomic particles, but this cannot be done physically to the copper piece.
Is Using oxygen to separate molten copper sulfide into copper and sulfur dioxide a physical change?
No, using oxygen to separate molten copper sulfide into copper and sulfur dioxide is a chemical change because new substances with different chemical properties are formed. This process involves a chemical reaction where the copper sulfide is broken down into copper and sulfur dioxide molecules.
What can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical but not physical means?
A chemical compound can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. This involves breaking the bonds between atoms within the compound, resulting in the formation of simpler molecules or elements. This process typically requires the addition or removal of energy.
Which substance can be broken down by chemical means CO Cu Ce Ca?
CO (carbon monoxide) can be broken down by chemical means through combustion or reaction with other compounds. Cu (copper) can be broken down by chemical means through processes like electrolysis or reaction with acids. Ce (cerium) can be broken down by chemical means through oxidation or reduction reactions. Ca (calcium) can be broken down by chemical means through reaction with acids or by electrolysis.
Can compounds be broken only by chemical means?
yes, they can only be broken down by chemical means
Is copper sulphate a substance?
Copper Sulfate CuSO4 or Cu2SO4 is a chemical compound which can only be broken down by chemical means, so yes it is a pure substance.
Can copper chloride be broken down into anything simpler?
Yes, copper chloride can be broken down into simpler compounds by various chemical reactions. For example, heating copper chloride can decompose it into copper and chlorine gas. Alternatively, electrolysis of a copper chloride solution can also break it down into its constituent elements.
Can compounds be broken down only by chemical means?
Compounds can be broken down by both chemical and physical means. Chemical means involve breaking the bonds between atoms, resulting in a new substance. Physical means do not involve changing the chemical makeup of the compound, but rather breaking it into smaller pieces.
Can Elements be broken down by ordinary chemical means?
no
What can be broken down into its element by chemical means?
A compound
What is the one thing that can not be broken down into chemical means?
mineralsss
Can compounds be broken down by ordinary chemical means?
Yes.
Can copper be broken down to a simpler substance?
Copper is an element and can not be broken down to a simpler substance.
