1. Costs a lot less than copper.
2. No Pollution.(unlike copper).
3. Copper getting sparse, so its best to save that for more important things.
Hope it was helpful.

Is it possible to go from copper to Pex?
It is possible. You'll have to change your piping though.
Can you used copper brushes instead of carbon?
You can specify a use for it.
What are motor made from?
an electric motor is a copper winding or 3 separate windings depending on the phase, the copper winding is the centralised inside of a iron magnet, this is also how a generator is made instead of putting a current on you turn the windings to receive a voltage .
Can Aluminum mylar-tape-shielded cables be used instead of Copper braid-shielded cables for instrumentation cables?
Actually, aluminum mylar tape shielded cables are better than copper braid shielded cables for instrumentation cables.
Would aluminum on a simple electric motor work?
If you are referring to the use of aluminium windings, instead of copper windings, then the answer is yes. However, because aluminium has a higher resistivity than copper, to produce the same rating as a copper-wound machine, the aluminium conductor would require a slightly larger cross-sectional area, which means that that the machine would be somewhat larger.

What are the advantages of copper pipe fittings over plastic?
The advantages of copper pipe fittings over plastic is that copper does not bend or break as easily as plastic, so it lasts longer and is much more reliable as well.

It is possible to melt metals including copper. It requires a very high level of heat, depending on the metal.ADDED@ Not sure why that "and copper". Copper IS a metal.
Why are copper wires used instead of steel wires?
I think copper is cheaper.
What minerals that occur as element instead of compounds?
Elemental, as in "elemental copper" as opposed to copper ore. It's POSSIBLE that the word you're looking for might be "noble" though some metals that are not noble metals can occasionally be found in elemental form: iron meteorites, for example.

What is the advantages of heating copper oxide with carbon?
This is one way of extracting copper from copper (II) oxide. 2CuO + C -> CO2 + 2Cu
What are the environmental problems are caused by heating copper sulfide in air?

What is copper thermite?
Copper thermite is a type of thermite where instead of the iron oxide, copper oxide is used instead. The reaction produces pure copper metal, but this thermite gets a little more splattery than the iron thermite.
