The property that enables copper wire to be bent without breaking is its malleability. Malleability is the ability of a material to deform under compression without rupturing. Copper is a highly malleable metal, making it easy to bend into various shapes without cracking or snapping.
This is because copper expands more than iron when heated, causing the side with copper to elongate and bend towards the iron side. This phenomenon is known as thermal expansion and is utilized in devices like thermostats to control temperature.
Copper is used in a bimetallic strip thermometer because it is a good conductor of heat, allowing for accurate temperature readings. When the bimetallic strip is heated, the two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients cause the strip to bend, and copper's ductility helps maintain the strip's shape over multiple temperature cycles.
The two metals commonly used in a bimetallic strip are steel and copper. These metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion, causing the strip to bend when heated or cooled due to the uneven expansion and contraction of the metals.
A bimetallic strip is typically made of two different metals bonded together, such as steel and copper, with different thermal expansion coefficients. This design allows the strip to bend when exposed to temperature changes, making it useful in devices like thermostats and switches.
If you are asking why DOES copper bend on heating, then i can answer that. When heat is applied, the copper molecules are spread farther apart, making the molecular structure weaker, thus you may bend it.
copper, it wont melt or bend easilly
Depends if the copper tubing is annealed or drawn type as not all copper tubing if bendable
Yes.
Copper is used because of its ductile property, meaning that they bend into shape easily
A thin copper sheet will likely bend under applied force due to its malleability. However, if excessive force is applied, it may eventually reach its breaking point and fracture.
no, it is in the family but it is more flexable. :)

Diamond and granite are extraordinarily firm; they will shatter but not bend. Wood will bend somewhat, depending on the type of wood. Oak won't bend at all, while maple, cedar and ash will bend somewhat and willow is quite flexible. But only metals are "ductile", so copper is the correct answer.
that would depend on the temper of the tubing as some types cannot be bent
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 isn't, gold(Au) , silver(Ag) and copper(Cu) are all separate elements. But if you're talking about when they add copper or silver to gold, it's to harden it, so you can't bend it in your hands.
