Why doesn't copper react with HCl?

Answer 1

Copper is not easily oxidized as are the reactive alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals you are referring to.

2Na + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2(g)

Copper occupies the same family of the periodic table as silver and gold. This similarity in electron structure makes them similar in many characteristics.

You probably asking how Copper salts are made then.

Well usually from CuO

Cu + heat + O2 --> CuO

Then CuO + HCl(conc) --> CuCl2
or
CuO + HNO3(conc) --> Cu(NO3)2

Answer 2

The electrode potential for copper is positive, meaning that it is below hydrogen in the reactivity series.
