copper because it has a free valence electron where as zinc has its shells completely full making it harder to delocalize the electron so it can conduct.

What it the alloy of copper an zinc?
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
Why is zinc negative amd copper positive?
Zinc is more electronegative than copper. As a result, zinc acts as the anion(anode), while copper loses electrons and becomes positive (cathode). Electrons flow from the zinc to the copper ( - to +)
Alloyed with copper to make brass?
Zinc
Why is bronze a compound?
Because no chemical reaction takes place between zinc and copper which constitute it.
How copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc?
zinc is more electropositive and therefore is highly reactive metal.hence it can not be easily displaced from its solution of ZnSO4.on the other hand,copper is less electropositive and can be readily displaced from its solution more active metal such as zinc. Zn + Cu2+ ------> Zn2+ + Cu
How conductive is brass?
Brass is conductive. It's an alloy of copper and zinc, both of which conduct electricity ( pure copper is better, though).
Which is best copper or zinc?
copper and zinc both are conductive materials but as copper is in lower position than zinc in electromotive charts zinc is more than copper but other material properties like corrosive force,strength are better for copper. so for daily use copper is better than zinc.
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
More reactive than copper.
What is the formula for zinc chloride reacting with copper?
The two do not react. Zinc is more active than copper and thus copper can not displace zinc.
What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?
zinc
What electrode is more reactive copper or zinc?
Zinc
Why does zinc separate copper sulphate?
Because zinc is more reactive than copper.
What it the alloy of copper an zinc?
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
What is the difference between brass and copper?
Copper is an element, and a metal. Brass is an alloy of the metallic elements copper and zinc. A link is provided below.
What type of bond will form between the elements zinc and copper?
zinc sulfate and copper. it is a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal reacts with the compound of the less reacive metal
