This depends on the year of the coin.
Before 1992 The Royal Mint issued coins that were a "Bronze Alloy" (mixture of copper tin and zinc)
After 1992 it was made with copper plated on top of steel.
In 1998 it was made both ways.
No, a 2p coin cannot scratch apatite. Apatite is composed of calcium phosphate minerals which are harder than the metal used in a 2p coin.
No, a 2p coin is unlikely to scratch apatite and orthoclase as these minerals have a higher hardness on the Mohs scale compared to the coin. Apatite has a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, while orthoclase has a hardness of 6-6.5, higher than the 2p coin.
The element with four 2p electrons is carbon. In its electron configuration, carbon has a total of six electrons, with two occupying the 1s orbital and four in the 2s and 2p orbitals. Specifically, the configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p², indicating that there are two electrons in the 2s subshell and two in the 2p subshell.
The element that contains only two 2p electrons is helium.
The electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁴ corresponds to the element with the atomic number 16, which is sulfur. The symbol for sulfur is "S."
No, a 2p coin cannot scratch apatite. Apatite is composed of calcium phosphate minerals which are harder than the metal used in a 2p coin.
A 2p coin in the UK weighs approximately 7.12 grams.

The 2p sublevel is completed with six electrons and is found in elements from carbon (C) onwards. The seventh element, nitrogen (N), is the element that completes the 2p sublevel.
The element that has a single electron in the 2p sublevel is boron. The electron configuration of Boron is 1s22s22p1.

That makes it easier to distinguish them.
