This element can be extracted from chalcocite by reacting it with oxygen gas, which creates sulfur dioxide.
This element is used as a catalyst in the Sandmeyer reaction, and is combined with zinc to catalyze the Simmons-Smith reaction. This element and zinc are cofactors in superoxide dismutase. This element can be extracted from chalcocite by reacting it with oxygen gas, which creates sulfur dioxide. When in its +1 oxidation state, an atom of this element has a filled 3d orbital and an empty 4s orbital. This element accumulates in the body in Wilson's disease. With zinc, this element forms brass, and with tin, it forms bronze. For 10 points, name this transition metal with atomic number 29 and symbol Cu.
