copper is a very shiny metal, with an orange-gold colour. It is a really good conductor of electricity, second only to silver. it doesn't corrode easily and is ralatively cheap since its very abundant. its very malleable and ductile.

∙ 15y agoCopper is a great conductor of heat and electricity that is why copper is the material we use when making electrical wires. Copper is also a very flexible metal it can be shaped into a lot of thing with much ease. Copper can be used for many different things such as water pipes and roofing

How could you distinguish copper from galena?
i have no clue at all im trying to figure it out too all i know is u can distiguish hematite from copper tst its characteristics streak hardness and clevage
What is the chemical formula for liquid copper?
Chemical formulas or symbols do not vary with the phase of a material. Therefore, the chemical symbol* for copper is always Cu, whether the metal is solid, liquid, or gas. _________________________ *Chemical elements such as copper have symbols, rather than formulas, which are characteristics of chemical compounds.

What is in the chemicals to make copper?
NONE copper is an element and contains only copper - alloys (mixtures of copper combined with other metals) such as brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) both look different and cause the alloys of copper to have different characteristics

Which two characteristics describe copper patch panels?
RJ-11 and RJ-45
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
What distinguishes a compound like copper sulfide from an ordinary mixture of copper powder and sulfur?
Copper Sulfide is a wholly different chemical from copper and sulfur, and thus shows different characteristics and is not dividable by physical means, while a mixture of copper and sulfur powder is just a physical mix.
Why is copper in cars?
Copper is used in the alternator and wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Copper is used in the radiator because it is a good conductor of heat. Copper alloys are used in some bearings because of the wear characteristics (not too hard, not too soft).
Is copper a member of transition elements?
There are two ions formed by copper. In copper(I) ion, the 3d orbital is fully filled, and show no transitional behaviour. Whereas copper(II) ion shows transitional characteristics as it has unfilled 3d orbitals. Therefore, copper is a transitional element.
What is the chemical name of copper wire?
Copper. The wire is made of elemntal copper not a chemical compound. (Note the copper used may sometimes be alloyed with another metal or occasionally be a solid solution of small amounts of oxide in the pure metal. This improves the durability and handling characteristics of the wire.)
