Difference between copper and bronze?

Iron is more brittle than bronze and is harder, but iron rusts and bronze doesn't.Iron is a pure substance and is oxidised relatively easily. Iron has to be coated with paint, oil, plastic, chrome, zinc to stop it from reacting with the oxygen in the air.Bronze, however, is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze tools were used by many civilizations but iron tended to be stronger. Especially the alloy of iron that is mixed with carbon to form steel. Civilizations that had iron weapons tended to be able to conquer those that did not. A good example is the way Europeans conquered South America or indigenous populations in many countries.AnswerBronze is a mixture of Copper and Tin and harder than pure Iron which is a single metal. The addition of other metals such as 1 to 2% phosphorus makes bronze even harder. This is why Phosphor-Bronze is used for bearings. Some modern Bronzes have used other metals in the alloy such as aluminum, manganese, and zinc The main advantage of iron, and why humans used it more, is simply that it is cheaper and more abundant.

Which metal were the first to be used during the neolithic age?

Copper was the first metal to fashioned into tools during this time period. Humans had not yet developed the technology to create bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) or to smelt and forge iron. The addition of tin in bronze made it a much stronger and durable material. Iron when it came into being c.1000BC proved stronger still.


How are copper and bronze the similar?

Because they are both metals. Copper is one of the elements that makes bronze. The other element is iron. So bronze is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Therefore, they are iron and copper. So copper and bronze are mostly different, except the fact they are both metals.

When was bronze first discovered?

At the end of the Copper Age came the Bronze Age and this was then replaced by the Iron Age - so bronze was created at the beginning of the Bronze age when people discovered that if you mixed Tin and Copper you got a harder metal alloy called Bronze. This happened at about 2000 BC or four thousand years ago.
