Hmmm...copper "is" a metal. Are you looking for a comparison between pure copper and various alloys made with copper?

Do you perhaps wish to know which of the two is harder or denser? Or magnetic?

Is nickel a better conductor than copper?
No - copper is a better conductor than nickel.
Is aluminium better than steel to conduct electricity?
no, steel is not better conductor than aluminum due to structural differences between them.

How steel conduct more heat than copper?
That is NOT correct. Copper conducts heat better than steel.
Why does a saucepan with a copper bottom work better than a saucepan made of steel?
Copper is a better conductor of heat than steel.
Is nickel a better conductor than copper?
No - copper is a better conductor than nickel.
Which is a better conductor of heat air or a copper wire?
A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.

no, steel is not better conductor than aluminum due to structural differences between them.
How much better is the thermal conductivity of a copper pot compared to a steel pot?
Copper is a much better conductor of heat than steel. This is why stainless steel cookware is clad in copper; it gets the heat in more effectively. Regarding a copper pot compared to a steel pot - I don't think anyone makes solid copper cookware. It leave a strange metallic taste in the mouth.
Why is copper a better conductor than steel?
Only at low temperatures, at higher temperatures copper wouldn't be a better heat conductor than steel. The spring force is much tighter in the steel because its melting point is much higher, but at low temperatures its because it models something, like a rollercoaster, but no. Also Copper is more magnetic with its audience, which is the way. To test this out get some boiling water in a beaker and attach thermometer to the copper and steel and see which one heats up first.

Is copper or silver a better conductor of electricity?
Silver is a better conductor than copper, but copper is more commonly used because it is cheaper and isn't as easily tarnished.
