Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a ductile, semi-precious metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Pure copper is soft and malleable; an exposed surface has a reddish-orange tarnish. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, a building material, and a constituent of various metal alloys. Copper can be found as either native copper or as part of minerals. (source: Wikipedia) Return to List Back to Michael's Hobbies page Back to Michael Marcotte's HomePage |
