Copper is a very good conductor for heat and electricity.
Copper is a conductor. Iām tired of this...š¤š

Copper and a Styrofoam
The nail will rust.
Copper is a conductor of electricity.
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
insulators
Conductor, which is why it's used for wires.
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
If an iron nail is placed in a copper(II) sulfate solution, the iron ions are exchanged with the copper ions, creating iron sulfate and copper (which precipitates out as copper metal). Fe + CuSO4 --> FeSO4 + Cu
The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
Copper will "plate" on to the outside of the nail. The observer will see a copper colored material on the nail that looks almost like rust when dry. Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu Copper precipitates onto the nail.
The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
