Explanation:

Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu and the 29th atomic number. A freshly exposed layer of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material and as part of various metal alloys.

• The characteristics of copper are -

1. It is malleable, ductile and an excellent heat and electricity conductor - only silver has a higher electrical conductivity than copper.
2. The surface of copper gradually turns black and brown when it comes in contact with water.
3. When water and air are present, copper can gradually rust, which is often seen on roofs and monuments, forming carbonate verdigris.
