Answer 2

Copper is a useful element used mostly for electrical purposes.  

Explanation:

• Copper is an ‘important’ metal. It's malleable nature and ductility enables it to be drawn into very thin sheets without breaking.  

• Since it is an excellent conductor of electricity and is not as expensive as silver, gold or platinum it is mostly used to make electric wires.  

• Copper is used to make ‘cooking vessels’. It forms ‘important alloys’ such as brass and zinc that have wide uses.  

• Copper is used in roofing, guttering and in rain spouts. Nowadays copper jewellery is also quite popular.
