Question:

Can copper wire be oxidized in an instant?

Can copper wire be oxidized in an instant?

Answer:

Copper has to be heated to more than 1000 degrees Celsius under water and oxygen. It can also be oxidized slowly in the air. So, 100 degrees Celsius doesn't affect copper much
Not very easy! If you want, use acid or heat!
Can! You put copper wire in nitric acid, the effect is obvious
