Bronzes are Copper with one of the following: Silicon, Manganese, Aluminum, Phosphorous or Tin
Copper-Nickels are Copper with Nickel
Copper is also sold in pure form mostly as an electrical conductor.

What elements are in alloys?
Alloys are made from a mixture of metals that are usually melted together. In this way brass, pewter, bronze are made. An amalgam which is also an alloy, is easier to make because mercury is a liquid at room temperature and metals dissolve in it.
Which year was brass invented?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. Although forms of brass have been in use since prehistory, its true nature as a copper-zinc alloy was not understood until the post medieval period because the zinc vapor which reacted with copper to make brass was not recognized as a metal. The King James Bible makes many references to "brass". The Shakespearean English form of the word 'brass' can mean any bronze alloy, or copper, rather than the strict modern definition of brass. The earliest brasses may have been natural alloys made by smelting zinc-rich copper ores.
Can a copper wire be used as a variable resistor in a circuit?
Because copper is a very good conductor, it isn't used for making the main body of a resistor. The body must be made of high resistance metals, such as nickel and chrome alloys. Copper is only used for making the connecting leads of a resistor.
How do you make the easiest engine It is make out of magnets one double A battery and copper wire?
You need a copper wire and magnets. put magnet on plus side of battery and then form the copper wire around it.
Why ore of copper is not concentrated by hydraulic washing?
Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.
Can we mix the iridium in melt copper?
Iridium can form alloys with copper.
Can copper be used in pure form?
Yes, but it is softer than in alloys (bronze, brass)
What happens when silver reacts with copper?
They're metals, they don't react, instead they form alloys when melt.
What is the importance of copper economically?
Copper is economically important to the electrical industry, since copper wire is the most broadly useful form of electrical conductor; copper is also used for many other things, cookware, the manufacture of brass or bronze (both of which are alloys that include copper), and let us not forget, pennies (and other denominations of coins, which are often made with copper alloys).
What type of bond will form between copper and gold?
Sorry I have no ideaa ! :D
Is Copper a pure substance?
Copper is a metallic element with the symbol Cu (29) and in its pure form contains only atoms of Copper. It is a pure substance. In addition, Copper is a soft metal and can be mixed with other metals to create alloys.
Is copper an ancient discovery?
Yes. The discovery of copper and tin, and of their ability to form a useful alloy, heralded the Bronze Age; and bronze alloys are still very important today.
What metal elements mix with copper?
Copper can form alloys with many metals: Zn, Co, Sn, Au, Ag, Ni, Be, Si, Mn, Fe, Pb, etc.
Do chlorine form alloys?
no, because it is a non-metal and only metals can form alloys
Is brass Cu and Zn a compound or element or mixture?
3 parts copper and 2 parts zincThat might be a good recipe for a bronze alloy but alloys are not considered chemical compounds.
Is copper a ferrous or non ferrous alloy?
Copper is neither ferrous nor an alloy. Copper is an element in its own right, and is in the periodic table. 'Ferrous' refers to IRON . from the Latin for iron ' Ferrum. Copper can be mixed with other metals to form alloys , notably ,brass and bronze.
Do alloys form an ionic bond or a metallic bond?
Alloys form metallic bonds between the metal atoms.
