Copper, just like any other material, doesn't chemically react with heat. Heat is its internal energy. As you increase its energy, from ambient temperature to higher temperatures, copper expands due to thermal expansion. read more

Heating copper hydroxide produces copper oxide, CuO, a black solid. Cu(OH) 2 (s) --> CuO (s) + H 2 O (l) Copper oxide dissolves in acid, regenerating the copper (II) ion, which once again binds to water. read more
Reaction of copper with the halogens The reaction between copper metal and the halogens fluorine, F 2, chlorine, Cl 2, or bromine, Br 2, affords the corresponding dihalides copper(II) fluoride, CuF 2, copper(II) chloride, CuCl 2, or copper(II) bromide, CuBr 2 respectively. read more
