Yes, copper is generally easier to find than silver. Copper is abundant in the Earth's crust, making up about 0.0068% of it, while silver is much rarer, with an abundance of about 0.0007%. Additionally, copper is often found in large deposits and is extracted in significant quantities for various industrial uses, while silver mining typically yields lower quantities. This abundance contributes to copper's wider availability compared to silver.

Silver is harder than gold but softer than copper.
Yes, silver is more dense than copper. Ag is 10.5 g/ml and Cu is 8.96 g/ml.
Silver is almost twice as heavy as copper.
Yeah, mainly because it has a higher boiling point than Silver.
No, copper will not displace silver from silver nitrate and silver will not displace copper from copper nitrate. This is because the reactivity series dictates that silver is below copper, so copper can displace silver but not vice versa.
No, copper is a better conductor of electricity than silver. Copper has a lower electrical resistivity compared to silver, making it more efficient for conducting electricity. This is why copper is widely used in electrical wiring and transmission lines.
Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.
When silver nitrate is added to copper, a redox reaction occurs where the Cu from copper displaces the Ag from silver nitrate. This results in the formation of copper nitrate and silver metal as a solid precipitate.
copper and silver dont rust. but copper tarnishes and so does silver. but copper will tarnish faster than silver. also, learn to spell please.
Suspend a copper wire in a solution of silver nitrate. Over the course of a few hours the silver nitrate will convert to copper II nitrate, turning the solution blue. Elemental silver will precipitate.
Copper is more active than silver. Copper reacts more readily with other substances compared to silver, which is less chemically reactive.
