PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
Copper is a reddish chemical element. It is an extremely ductile metal and is second only to silver as a conductor of electricity and heat. It has a pleasing color and luster, it takes a high polish, and it forms alloys readily with almost all metals. Copper found in the free metallic state in nature is called "native copper." It is found throughout the world as a primary mineral in basaltic lava's. The greatest known deposit of copper is in porphyries formed by volcanic activity in the Chile's Andean Mountains.
Copper is usually found in nature in association with sulfur. Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process, beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals, and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode. An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching of oxidized ores. Nearly as much copper is recovered from recycled material as is derived from newly mined ore.
Snowflakeia: It belongs to transition metals
Beryllium and magnesium belong to the alkaline earth metals family of elements. They are located in group 2 of the periodic table.
Silicon belongs to the 3rd family on the periodic table
Darmstadtium is in the group 10 and period 7 of the periodic table of Mendeleev. The atomic number of darmstadtium is 110. Ds is a member of the family of super-heavy elements (or transactinoids).
Alkali metals are found only in the first family (column) in the periodic table.Copper is a transition metal.This site is GREAT for learning all about specific elements and their properties. It's basically a periodic table of elements, except the elements have all been linked to pages that have a pretty decent amount of information on each.http://www.ptable.com/
Fluorine belongs to the halogen family in the periodic table. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that include elements like chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
It's a transition metal

It belongs to the 15th lol
They belong to different families but HALOGENS family consists of diatomic molecular elements.
a 'family' of elements or also called a group
Together with bromine and fluorine they belong to the 'halogenes', group 7 in the periodic table.
Silicon, Germanium, Tin, Lead belong to carbon family
Aluminum is of the family of elements called 'other metals' in the Periodic Table.
Group 7 of the periodic table of Mendeleev and period 7 (transfermium elements).
Copper has an atomic number of 29 on the periodic table of elements.
