Copper pipes are now most commonly used in Plumbing. Lead pipes were used long ago, and the word plumbing is derived from the Latin word for lead (plumbum). Iron pipes were used until relatively inexpensive copper pipes became readily available during the twentieth century.
Copper is used for most plumbing systems. Alloys such as steel and brass are also often used.

Copper has extremely low reactivity with water which is why it is used to make water pipes.
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes

Well it reacts slowly with water (relative to the other alkaline earths -- but not slowly enough -- your water pipes wouldn't last very long.
Copper has several redeeming qualities. It last long, does not rust, and won't grow bacteria. It also does not interact with water, making it good for pipes.
Mainly lead pipes or hollowed out tree trunks. An open top aqueduct, ditches, etc was also used.
Hydrogen and oxygen
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.
two elements hydrogen and oxygen is used to make water i.e H2O . there are two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen
Copper used to be very common, now many kinds of plastics are used. PEX is one of the most popular.
