=Compounds of Copper.=—From the smelting point of view, the three most
important classes of copper compounds are the oxides, the sulphides,
and the silicates.

_Copper Oxides._—Of the oxides, two are of importance—cuprous oxide,
Cu_{2}O, and cupric oxide, CuO—the first-named particularly, having
extensive connection with smelting practice.
