Copper is a tough material because, take copper wire for example, you can bend it a lot before it actually fractures and breaks. This is toughness. Toughness is defined as the ability of a material to withstand a sudden impact without fracture. it also refers to a material's ability to withstand bending.
Metals like Iron are said to be more electropositive than copper- that is they tend to react by losing electrons and forming positive ions. So the more electropositive they are the more vigorously they should react to form positive ions. A better method of determining the tendendency of a metal to be oxidised (i.e. lose electrons to form that positive ion) is to connect a sample of the metal in a 1M solution of its ions to a Standard Hydrogen Electrode and read its Standard Reduction Potential from the High Resistance Voltmeter. Metals can then be ordered by their SRP. Some very reactive metals like Alumio not appear to be very reactive at all because they are covered in a thin layer of their oxide, so beware!
Because it is considered an excellent conductor. Electrons flow freely in copper. The only thing superior to copper is gold and silver, but both are very expensive compared to copper.
because copper atoms have only 1 valance electron to add to the electron 'sea' each, so the bonds btween the elctron sea and the now +ve charged atoms is weak
yes
Well soluble means able to dissolve so soluble copper is copper that dissolves in a solvent (liquid)
Copper is a metal, so it has metallic bonding. This means that the electrons are free to move & carry a current. So copper is a good conductor of heat & electricity.
in the future, there may be no copper ores left so other metals will need to be used, however other metals are more reactive than copper, so will eventually dissolve
No. Ions do not precipitate on their own. Since zinc is more reactive that copper it will replace copper. So placing zinc in a solution of a copper salt will cause elemental copper to precipitate.
Modern English 1p coins are made of copper-plated steel. So yes, there is a tiny amount of copper.
Copper is an element so it is simply made of copper.
Copper clad is copper clad. So often, as an example, the dome of a mosque will be clad with copper. It means that a structure/object is not made with copper, but clad/covered with copper.
Cu is the symbol It cannot be C as that is for carbon So copper-nickel is CuNi and so on
Copper is on the Periodic Table, anything on the periodic table is an element so copper wire is made from an element.
because in 1982 there was a war going on and copper was short and they needed copper for their weapons so they stoped using copper for the so called "penny" and used zinc instead but they still used a copper collered coating. :) hope this helped because in 1982 there was a war going on and copper was short and they needed copper for their weapons so they stoped using copper for the so called "penny" and used zinc instead but they still used a copper collered coating. :) hope this helped
copper conducts electricity so their can be electronics
It's copper. &Copper is metal. So yeah.
Copper is so recyclable, that it has become a popular target for thieves.
Copper is a conductor, so and pennies are coated in copper.
Copper has an atomic number of 29 - so it has 29 protons-- when it has only 27 electrons so it is Cu2+ . The isotope is copper-64
Cu = Copper O = oxygen So, CuO is a molecule composed of copper and oxygen.
magnesium is more reactive than copper so,it displaces copper from its salt solution.
