It's like breaking a chocolate chip cookie (representing the bronze alloy) compared to a regular sugar cookie (representing copper). If you try to break the chocolate chip cookie by sliding it in 2 directions (picture placing your hands on the cookie and having one pull straight back while the other pushes forward), the cracks need to work their way around the chocolate chips (which represent the harder phases).
Doing the same thing with a sugar cookie (representing copper), the cracks will form more easily because they do not have to go around the harder chocolate chips (the harder phases).
When were metal tools first used?
Sticks and stones were probably the first tools used, and they were used before recorded history.

What age happened most recently stone age iron age or bronze age?
If you believe in the evolutionary view of history, first came the age of stone tools, followed by the age of bronze tools, and then the age of iron tools. On the other hand, if you take the Bible seriously as a guide to history, then such chronology becomes highly suspect, as, if anything, the biblical story presents a picture of devolution rather than evolution following the flood and the Tower of Babel. According to the biblical perspective, the so-called great civilizations of China, the Indus River Valley, Mesopotamia, Egypt, etc. would be seen as corrupt remnants of an earlier great civilization that was destroyed by the flood and was never fully rebuilt due to the confusion of the languages at the Tower of Babel. The presumption of the greatness of the posited pre-flood civilization is based in part on the fact that Noah was able to build a ship that would have been at least 450 feet long by 75 feet wide by 45 feet high -- a size that has never been rivaled in wood and was only surpassed by steel ships in the 20th century. Obviously, if a ship that size could have been built prior to the flood, then some rather sophisticated tools would have been necessary.

The Bronze Age is important because of the advancements it provided for civilization. In warfare especially, the Bronze Age was when bronze (copper mixed with tin or arsenic) was used to make weapons and armor. This was also the period when horses were used in chariots, helping nations conquer others more easily.
This meant that that nation's way of life would spread. The language, culture and religion of that nation would be spread across the world until it came into contact with a nation that had similar advancements. Then a real conflict would break out.
