opper(II) carbonate (often called copper carbonateor cupric carbonate) is a blue-green compound (chemical formula CuCO3) forming part of the verdigris patina one sees on weathered brass, bronze, and copper. The colour can vary from bright blue to green, because there may be a mixture of both copper carbonate and basic copper carbonate in various stages of hydration. It was formerly much used as a pigment, and is still in use for artist's colours. It has also been used in some types of make-up, like lipstick, although it can also be toxic to humans. It also has been used for many years as an effective algaecide in farm ponds and in aquaculture operations. Copper carbonate was the first compound to be broken down into several separate elements (copper, carbon, and oxygen). It was broken down in 1794 by the French chemist Joseph Louis Proust (1754-1826).When burnt, it turns into a black powder. It can be used to bronze plate a metallic surface by adding suphuric acid and heat it then passing a charge through it with the meal in the liquid. Copper in moist air slowly acquires a dull green coating because its top layer has oxidised with the air. Some architechts use this material on rooftops for the interesting colour. The green material is a 1:1 mole mixture of Cu(OH)2 and CuCO3:[1] : 2Cu(s) + H2O(g) + CO2 + O2 → Cu(OH)2 + CuCO3(s) Copper carbonate decomposes at high temperatures, giving off carbon dioxide and leaving copper(II) oxide: : CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g) Basic copper(II) carbonate occurs naturally as malachite (CuCO3.Cu(OH)2) and azurite (Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2). # ^ Masterson, W.

Copper Carbonate.
Because it undergoes thermal decomposition. If you give heat to Copper (II) carbonate, it will decompose to form Copper (II) oxide. Instead of saying green copper carbonate, I guess it is safer and better to say copper (II) carbonate.
it is a chemical change Sodium carbonate + Copper sulfate react to make Sodium sulfate + Copper carbonate
Carbonate by itself is an ion that does not contain copper and therefore could not produce copper if heated. However, because carbonate is a negatively charged ion, no substantial number of carbonate ions can exist stably except in association with an equal number of positively charged cations to neutralize the electrical charge of the carbonate ions. If these cations are cations of copper, then copper oxide can be produced by heating the copper carbonate salt.
greenium is a compound because it is made up of more than one type of atom
Copper(II) Carbonate (or Cupric Carbonate) is made up of Copper ions, and Carbonate ions. The coppers have a +2 charge, and carbonate has a -2 charge. The formula is Cu(II)CO3
Copper Carbonate.
copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
It is a compound that is made up of carbon, copper and oxygen. The "ate" in carbonate stands for oxygen.
Copper(II) carbonate is insoluble in water and doesn't react with sodium sulfate. A green product, visible on ald objects made from copper or copper alloys, is a mixture of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide.
copper sulphate and carbon dioxide
Copper sulfate is the salt made by this.
Copper and carbonate ions form copper carbonate. In practice, copper carbonate usually contains hydroxide ions as well.
No.
It isn't an element it is a molecule, made up of the elements copper, carbon and oxygen
Potassium Carbonate and Copper metal
The copper(III) carbonate is a precipitate.
