HOLA!!!
Zinc oxidises (loses electrons) more easily than hydrogen whereas copper does not do so. So, copper does not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
Hope it helps you #CHEERS

Answer:
copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series, thats why
Explanation:
order of reactivity:
- K
- Na
- Ca
- Mg
- Al
- Zn
- Fe
- Sn
- Pb
- H
- Cu
- Hg
- Ag
- Au
- Pt
any thing that has reactivity higher than hydrogen can react with acids and displace hydrogen. that is the reason why Zn can but Cu cannot.
