Want this question answered?
Most alloys are meant to be stronger: bronze >> copper etc.
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
Pure copper is actually quite useful for certain purposes, such as wiring, but alloys such as brass and bronze are stronger than copper.
i don't think they had the technology available to create alloys during the copper age
Copper is a metallic element. There is no equivalent. Silver has similar (but slightly higher) conductivity. There ar evarious alloys of copper that are similar but not the same.
Copper alloys are used in jewllery.
Most Copper and its alloys is non magnetic at room temperature.
Most alloys are meant to be stronger: bronze >> copper etc.
Copper grades are divided into six families: coppers, dilute copper alloys, brasses, bronzes, copper-nickel alloys, and nickel-silver alloys. The grade depends on the composition.
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).

Yes, zinc alloys e.g brass will tarnish given the "right" conditions.Zinc alloys contain copper, and copper is one of the most tarnish-prone metals there is, so any alloy containing copper will tarnish eventually, depending on the percentage of copper alloyed.

Copper (as a metal or alloys) is safe.
