copper is less dense of a metal therefore allowing electrons to be passed through it faster than other metals making it a better conductor

Does not conduct electricity and is not shiny or maleable?

The material being described seems to be a nonmetal, such as sulfur or carbon. These materials typically do not conduct electricity and have dull or non-shiny appearances. They are also not malleable, meaning they do not easily bend or shape without breaking.


Information about properties of different materials such as iron wood copper etc?

Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. It has a high boiling point. Copper is also malleable. Malleable or ductile is when you can bend the thing. If the thing is not ductile it cannot be bent.


Why is copper bend on heating?

If you are asking why DOES copper bend on heating, then i can answer that. When heat is applied, the copper molecules are spread farther apart, making the molecular structure weaker, thus you may bend it.


What kind of element is usually dull in color does not conduct electricity does not bend or stretch very much and breaks easily?

These are characteristics of solid nonmetal elements.


How can you differentiate between aluminum and glass?

Aluminum is a metal, and it'll do the typical metal things: be a good conductor of electricity, be a good conductor of heat. It'll bend w/o breaking. can be shaped (a bit) at room temperature. Glass won't conduct electricity and will shatter rather than bend.


Metal that is often used in wires that conduct elecricity?

Copper is the most commonly used conductor material in wiring, steel is also used but is much firmer and harder to bend.


Why are the three pin plugs are made of brass and not copper or steel?

Brass is used for the manufacture of plug pins for the following reasons. It is a good electrical conductor and is cheaper than other materials such as copper. It is a hard alloy material, therefore it is very wear resistant and will not wear or mark easily. Furthermore, Brass is corosion resistant and will not tarnish easily. Brass is also stiff and therefore will not bend easily when inserted in to the socket.


What makes copper wire bend?

Copper wire is ductile, meaning it can be stretched without breaking. It bends easily due to its malleability, allowing it to be shaped into various forms without losing its structural integrity. The atomic structure of copper also plays a role in its ability to bend; the arrangement of atoms allows the wire to deform under stress.


What is the best metal for a can gold zinc or copper?

copper, it wont melt or bend easilly


How do you bend copper pipes?

Depends if the copper tubing is annealed or drawn type as not all copper tubing if bendable


Can copper bend forever and not bend?

No, copper will eventually break if it is bent repeatedly. While copper is known for its malleability and ductility, it does have a limit to how many times it can be bent before it becomes weakened and breaks.
