copper is less dense of a metal therefore allowing electrons to be passed through it faster than other metals making it a better conductor

Characteristics of metal?
Hard, shiny, silver/grey/black/white colour, some conducts electricity, some doesn't, hard to bend, different melting points, different chemical build up, coins made from copper and silver, insoluble in water.
What kind of element is usually dull in color does not conduct electricity does not bend or stretch very much and breaks easily?
These are characteristics of solid nonmetal elements.
Why are the three pin plugs are made of brass and not copper or steel?
Brass is used for the manufacture of plug pins for the following reasons. It is a good electrical conductor and is cheaper than other materials such as copper. It is a hard alloy material, therefore it is very wear resistant and will not wear or mark easily. Furthermore, Brass is corosion resistant and will not tarnish easily. Brass is also stiff and therefore will not bend easily when inserted in to the socket.
What joint allows you to bend your neck?
Your sliding joint allows your spine to bending or stretching
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.

Can copper bend forever and not bend?
Yes

Information about properties of different materials such as iron wood copper etc?
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. It has a high boiling point. Copper is also malleable. Malleable or ductile is when you can bend the thing. If the thing is not ductile it cannot be bent.
Why is copper bend on heating?
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.
How can you differentiate between aluminum and glass?
Aluminum is a metal, and it'll do the typical metal things: be a good conductor of electricity, be a good conductor of heat. It'll bend w/o breaking. can be shaped (a bit) at room temperature. Glass won't conduct electricity and will shatter rather than bend.
Why are metallic crystals flexible?
Metallic crystals are flexible because of a property of their electrons called delocalization. The electrons are free to move about the crystal, instead of "belonging" to one specific atom. This allows the metal to bend, flex, stretch and conduct electricity. These properties are called malleability, ductility and conductivity.
Metal that is often used in wires that conduct elecricity?
Copper is the most commonly used conductor material in wiring, steel is also used but is much firmer and harder to bend.
What properties are used to classify rocks?
Whether they bend easily If they look shiny or dull How well they conduct heat and electricity If they are solid, liquid or gas at room temperature
What allows you to bend?
your muscles
Will a thin copper sheet bend or break?
quite easily
