They were around about the same time. The Egyptians had copper weapons, while the Hyksos had weapons made of bronze and iron.
iron will rust faster because the hydrogen molecules combine with metalic molecules in the iron faster which causes the chemical reaction process to speed up sincerly, Jake from AZ 7th grade student
Bronze was used before iron because it was easier to make by combining copper with tin. Bronze weapons and tools were stronger and more durable than pure copper implements, making it a preferred choice for early civilizations. The technology and knowledge required to extract and work iron were developed later, leading to the transition from bronze to iron usage.
Iron is more brittle than bronze and is harder, but iron rusts and bronze doesn't.Iron is a pure substance and is oxidised relatively easily. Iron has to be coated with paint, oil, plastic, chrome, zinc to stop it from reacting with the oxygen in the air.Bronze, however, is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze tools were used by many civilizations but iron tended to be stronger. Especially the alloy of iron that is mixed with carbon to form steel. Civilizations that had iron weapons tended to be able to conquer those that did not. A good example is the way Europeans conquered South America or indigenous populations in many countries.AnswerBronze is a mixture of Copper and Tin and harder than pure Iron which is a single metal. The addition of other metals such as 1 to 2% phosphorus makes bronze even harder. This is why Phosphor-Bronze is used for bearings. Some modern Bronzes have used other metals in the alloy such as aluminum, manganese, and zinc The main advantage of iron, and why humans used it more, is simply that it is cheaper and more abundant.
Iron is an element. The other two are alloys containing copper.
Pre Iron Age metalworkers used non-ferrous alloys such as bronze (copper and tin), brass (copper and zinc), and pewter (tin and lead). These alloys were valued for their strength, malleability, and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for tools, weapons, and decorative items.
Copper, bronze, and iron are all metals and conductors of electricity.
No. Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin.
No, bronze is an alloy traditionally made by combining copper with tin. Iron and zinc are not typically used in the production of bronze.
Copper was the first metal to fashioned into tools during this time period. Humans had not yet developed the technology to create bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) or to smelt and forge iron. The addition of tin in bronze made it a much stronger and durable material. Iron when it came into being c.1000BC proved stronger still.
Because they are both metals. Copper is one of the elements that makes bronze. The other element is iron. So bronze is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Therefore, they are iron and copper. So copper and bronze are mostly different, except the fact they are both metals.
They used to be. The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Iron Age. Most of the old cultures, Greek, Roman, Egyptian and many others used copper and bronze for their tools. Iron came along, much harder and it became the metal of choice for weapons. Copper is too soft to make an acceptable knife.
At the end of the Copper Age came the Bronze Age and this was then replaced by the Iron Age - so bronze was created at the beginning of the Bronze age when people discovered that if you mixed Tin and Copper you got a harder metal alloy called Bronze. This happened at about 2000 BC or four thousand years ago.

Iron was discovered after copper and bronze. Iron tools and weapons revolutionized human society by being stronger and more durable than previous materials. This discovery marked the beginning of the Iron Age.

Iron and copper, steel and bronze are not elements.
Bronze, copper, iron, wood.
