What family does copper belong to on the periodic table of elements?

Answer 1

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.
