    Copper does not react with water because the oxygen in water is locked into a compound with one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen. Copper oxide is a compound from the two elements copper and oxygen. Copper in moist air slowly acquires a dull green coating (patina) because its top layer has oxidised with the air.
