Is reactivity to water a physical property of copper?
Reactivity is a chemical property. And copper is not very reactive to water (which is one of the reasons why copper makes great pipes for use in plumbing).
What is the subsatnce is used to join metals together such as pipes?
Solder. It is an alloy of lead and tin, with a (relatively) low melting point. It only works with Copper or lead pipes.
Why is copper used for water pipes?
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes

How do you clean out copper water pipes?
You should be very careful. You can actually cause your pipes to leak by doing this. The best bet is to replace that section with some PEX which is plastic and won't corrode.
Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?
If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.

When should you use joint compound on copper pipes?
=== === By the way I doubt very seriously your using copper pipes your using copper TUBING
Which elements are used to make water pipes?
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.
Are copper pipes heat resistant?
no
