Question:

Does copper bond with any atoms?

if so what changes will occur?and if not then why?&& if yu add the website yu got it from that would be helpfulthnks.

Answer:

you may have to rephrase your question but if you are speaking about the bonding between the metal copper you should look up metallic bonding.
Copper generally bonds with two things: 1) itself in metallic bonds, and 2) anions and other negatively charged molecules. Cu2 is a metallic bond, and Cu(NO3)2 (copper (II) nitrate) is a molecular bond between a cation and an anion. Most transition metals, like copper exhibit similar properties in bonds. They generally form positive ions (cations), and bond with other atoms of the same species. If you need physical properties, check Wikipedia on the element itself and others. Hope this helps.
