Well, firstly they got a bronze picaxe and mined the copper ore. Then they would do the same with tin ore. After having one of each ore, they would take it to the furnace where they made bronze bars. Then they would use a hammer (they are only about 2gp in the general store) and the bronze bar on an anvil and create weapons like bronze daggers or armour like bronze chain mails.
copper was one of the first metals to be extracted from its ore because it has a low melting point which makes it easy to extract
So that we can obtain copper to build items
They Were Soft Enough to be hammerd or cut.
Generally copper is obtained as sulfides; the sulfides are oxidized with oxigen. The cuprous oxide decompose by heating to copper metal. Copper metal is electrochemically refined.
The answer to that is it wasn't.
SO they don't melt on the stove. Also they are durable, good conductors of heat. Copper pans are much more expensive, and so are cast iron ones.
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin(generally). In the ancient world these could both be found as pure metal in nature and they can be smelted using basic metallurgical skills. Aluminium on the other hand is only found in the combined form in nature, generally alumina in bauxite. To refine aluminium from its ore requires the melting of alumina and electrolysis to refine the metal. (this requires electricity which the ancients didn't have) In fact aluminium use to be valued higher than gold! That is why the Washington Monument's tip is an aluminium pyramid!!!
Most iron ores are iron oxides or iron sulfides. Iron ores are also usually hydrated (i.e. includes water of crystallization). A variety of other metal ores (e.g. copper, zinc, lead) are sometimes mixed with iron ores. In much lower concentrations, almost any element (except the inert gases) might be found.
Muntz metal is a brass, which is 40% zinc and 60% copper, with a small amount of iron. There's no lead in it on purpose, but there will usually be trace amounts.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, mercury.
Copper is a much better electrical conductor than iron.
Copper is more malleable and can be formed easier. However, it is much softer than iron and doesn't carry weight well. Copper is more corrosion resistant than iron is and oxidizes very slowly.
Even in its pure form, iron is stronger than copper (although copper doesn't rust the way iron does) and iron is also used in making various kinds of steel which are much stronger than iron, and incomparably stronger than copper. Copper can also be used in alloys which are stronger than pure copper, such as brass and bronze, however, even the strongest copper alloy is much weaker than steel. Copper is much more electrically conductive than steel, and along with its greater flexibility and resistance to chemical corrosion, this makes it much better for wiring than iron or any iron alloy would be. So for each metal, there are particular uses. . Bronze (an alloy of mostly copper with up to 23% tin) is a much stronger metal than iron. This is why during the early iron age, the Roman foot soldiers were issued iron swords but their commanders had bronze swords.
When compared by volume, copper is best, then aluminum and finally iron. When compared by weight, aluminum is better than copper. You have to compare by volume because aluminum is so much lighter than copper, an aluminum wire that weighed the same as a copper wire would be much bigger and harder to work with.
Chalcopyrite which is a copper iron sulphide mineral with formula CuFeS2.
Copper wires conduct electricity much better than iron. This is because electric current passes through copper with very less resistance. it is also more ductile and malleable.
Iron needs to be heated to a much higher temperature to find and mold
It depends if they are copper-nickel (post-1964) or 90% silver quarters (1964 and earlier). If they are copper-nickel, dated 1965 and earlier, they are only worth face, if they are silver, they are worth the silver content.
iron, copper, metals in general gases not so much
Although iron is worth much less per pound than some other metals such as copper, aluminum, silver, chromium, etc., iron is worth money.
no it was notAnswer:The earliest record of gold was in Egyptian hieroglyphs from as early as 2600 BCE. We do not know how much earlier in prehistoric times it was discovered.
You should try biotin. also zinc,iron,B-12,and copper but not to much copper because it can harm you. hope i helped.
