A shiny brown coloured element $‘X’$ on heating in air becomes black in colour. Name the element $‘X’$ and the black coloured compound formed.
$‘X’$ is copper $(Cu)$ and the black-coloured compound formed is copper oxide $(CuO)$. The equation of the reaction involved on heating copper is given below.
$\mathop {2Cu\,}\limits_{(Shiny\,brown\,in\,\,colour)} + \,{O_2}\,\xrightarrow{{Heat}}\mathop {2CuO}\limits_{(Black\,in\,\,colour)} $
