Yes, the metallic copper is an element, this means 'of one kind of atoms', it is Cu with atom number 29 in the Periodic Table.

A 'copper' (money piece) is not made of pure copper, it is an alloy, the same like a 'nickel'.

Why is bronze a compound?

Bronze is not a compound; it is an alloy. Bronze is made by combining copper with other metals such as tin, aluminum, or lead. Alloys are mixtures of two or more elements, where the atoms of one element are mixed with atoms of another element.


What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?

Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.


Why was bronze better than copper as a material use in making tools?

Bronze is a stronger and more durable material than copper due to its alloy composition of copper and tin. This composition also makes bronze more resistant to corrosion and wear, making it more suitable for tool making. Bronze tools also held a sharper edge and were able to maintain their shape better compared to tools made solely of copper.


What element is heavier tha cobalt but lighter than copper?

The atomic weight of nickel lies in between that of cobalt and copper.


Why does copper ii sulfate react with aluminum?

Yes. Iron is more reactive than copper, so will displace it from a compound. If you put a piece of iron into copper sulfate solution, it will be soon coated with a deposit of orangey red copper.CuSO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + Cu

Copper is a single element.


Which medal is made up of more than one element?

Medals are made of red brass that is electroplated to the color they want. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, so all medals are made of more than one element.


Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?

more reactive than copper. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element will displace the less reactive element from its compound. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper on the reactivity series of metals, allowing it to displace copper in the reaction.


What element is more conductive than copper?

Silver but it's more expensive so we tend to use copper more for conducting electricity


Is copper a compound or a solution?

No, copper is not a chemical compound. Its a chemical element.A chemical element is a substance made up of atoms of only one type. IE: Copper. Or hydrogen. Or Helium. Or Lithium... (there are ninety two naturally occurring elements, and several more man made ones)


Which metal is made up of more than one element?

An example of a metal that is made up of more than one element is bronze, which is an alloy composed mainly of copper and tin. Alloys are materials that contain a mixture of elements, with at least one of them being a metal.


What element has one more proton than copper and is in same family?

Do silver comprised of more than one element?

Silver IS an element. However, silver jewelry will usually have more than one element. Sterling silver is a mix of silver and copper.


What metals are alloys?

An alloy is any metal which contains atoms from more than one kind of element. Examples include: brass (made of copper and zinc), bronze (made from copper and tin) and steels (made from iron and a combination of other elements).


Is brass made up of more than 1 element?

Yes, brass is an alloy made up of two main elements - copper and zinc. Copper typically makes up the majority of the composition, while zinc is added to increase the hardness and durability of the alloy.
